Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2525 Imperial Taoist Temple
In troubled times, Daoist sects go down the mountain to help the world, and in prosperous times, Buddhist schools open their doors and incense is flourishing. The success or failure of success or failure is determined by God, so why spend so much effort?
Now that I have been with Fang Jun for many days, the profound and unpredictable natural science seems to have suddenly opened the door in front of Li Chunfeng, the movement of stars, the passage of time, the infinite calculation between numbers, the original power of various things...any Any one of them is enough to make people spend their entire lives chasing after the truth, and a little glimpse into the ultimate mystery of the universe will make people's blood throbbing and exciting, why bother to waste the short decades of this life in intrigue , Fighting for power and profit?
It's too stupid.

……

His Majesty Li Er was still pondering.

He naturally understands what Fang Jun said, and thinks that Fang Jun's fear is necessary. He wants to train all the students in this academy to become his "students of the son of heaven", and in the future they will all become empires. The pillar of talent, but it was mixed with sand by Taoism, which is inevitably depressing.

No matter how much he admires the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, no matter how obsessed with immortality, as an emperor, he absolutely does not want all his subjects to be influenced by the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism. .

It's nothing more than Buddhism, it's just that Zhenguan has gradually risen over the years, so there is no need to pay too much attention to it.

However, Daomen made a lot of contributions and gave him a lot of support in the process of fighting for the world. Now that he has established himself in the country and created a prosperous age, he has abandoned Daomen from the center of power. The impression of being mean and ungrateful, and killing donkeys.

This is absolutely unacceptable to His Majesty Li Er, who is very happy and cherishes his feathers.

Furthermore, the way of the world lies in balance, the situation of the court is the same, and so is the power of the country.Nowadays, all kinds of industries are flourishing in the prosperous age, and the rise of Buddhism is already unstoppable. Xuanzang’s journey to the west to obtain scriptures from Tianzhu boosted the morale of Buddhism. In the foreseeable long time in the future, the prosperity of Buddhism will definitely affect the court situation. .

Whether it is a Taoist school or a Buddhist school, once it becomes a big deal, the disasters it will cause are no less than the invasion of powerful enemies, natural disasters and man-made disasters. If they cannot be suppressed in time, if they are not careful, they will enter the court and participate in the government, which will damage the world. Stablize.

As an emperor, he can't turn a blind eye. The best way to suppress Buddhism is of course to support Taoism...

After deliberating in my heart, I said slowly: "I shouldn't refuse Daoist Yuan's request. My Li Tang royal family is after Lao Tzu, so naturally it is also from the Taoist sect. However, Fang Shaobao's worries are not unreasonable. Young people in official careers, how can they have the leisure to pursue the way of heaven and man, and the art of the five elements? Even if a Taoist academy is established, it is just a curiosity in spare time, and it is extremely difficult to achieve anything."

Seeing Yuan Tiangang opening his mouth to speak, His Majesty Li Er raised his hand to interrupt him, and said with a smile: "I plan to build a large-scale construction project on Lishan Mountain, to rest the original garden left over from the Sui Dynasty, and to build additional palaces and pavilions as a summer escape. You might as well reserve a piece of land on the third peak of Xiuling in the west of Lishan Mountain, build a Taoist temple, and give it to the Taoist sect as a testimony of the friendship between me and the Taoist sect. The Taoist priest can set up a Taoist academy there to promote Taoism. how?"

Fang Jun was listening, and couldn't help but click his lips.

Sure enough, no matter which era, men can't be idle when they have money. His Majesty Li Er has been suffering for many years since he became the throne. To spend some.

Lishan Xixiuling?
After thinking about it carefully, if the other courtyards left over from the Sui Dynasty were built for rest, considering His Majesty Li Er's temperament, it must be a big deal. They are all luxurious and luxurious, and they are probably the Huaqing Palace in history.

As for the third peak on Xixiu Ridge...

On the beacon tower on the first peak, King Zhou You laughed at Bo Baosi, and the beacon fire played with the princes.

The old mother's hall on the second peak is said to be the place where Nuwa Empress refined stones to mend the sky.

The third peak...could it be presented to the Taoist sect after it is completed, and it is the Chaoyuan Pavilion in history?

Your Excellency Chaoyuan is the famous and lingering Hall of Eternal Life...

Of course Yuan Tiangang was not satisfied, Lishan was tens of miles away from Chang'an City, so what if he built a Sanqing Temple there?

No influence!

However, he also understands that this is His Majesty Li Er's compromise. If he insists on setting up a Taoist Academy in the academy, His Majesty Li Er will definitely refuse. It will make everyone look ugly, but he will be passive everywhere. After all, Taoism urgently needs the support of the court, otherwise it will be suppressed by Buddhism.

motherfucker!

It's all because Fang Jun, that bastard...

Yuan Tiangang said helplessly: "The old Daoist will represent the disciples of the Daoist sect in the world, thank you Your Majesty for your generous help!"

He said thank you, but stared at Fang Jun, wishing he could jump up and beat the mallet hard.

In his opinion, back then, the Daoist sect spared no effort to support His Majesty Li Er to fight for the throne. I can't save face.

Unexpectedly, Fang Jun, a bastard, rejected his offer in the first shot, and His Majesty Li Er went down the donkey, and no one could say anything strange.

You bastard, you ruined the old way...

*****
The advent of the steam engine set off a wave in Chang'an City and even the entire Guanzhong.

No one knows what kind of power this thing is driven by. Ignorance means fear, especially when an iron lump roars and sprays black and white smoke and runs on the flat ground by the Kunming Pool, it is immediately rendered countless Mystery.

Changsun Wuji was a little dazed when he heard his steward came back from inquiring about the news and said, "The academy has already mastered some kind of mysterious witchcraft, which can turn steel into monsters."

Turn steel into monsters?

He wondered if the manager was using the name of seeking information, but in fact he went to a restaurant in the city and had a drink, and he was so dizzy that he hadn't sobered up yet, otherwise how could he have uttered such unimaginable nonsense?

He admitted that Fang Jun did have some talents, especially his attainments in strange and obscene skills. Even the "Mohists", who were famous for their mechanical equipment back then, did not necessarily have Fang Jun's achievements, but turning steel into Be a monster...

Why don't you just say that Fang Jun turned into a steel warrior?

The steward seemed to have expected that the Patriarch would find it hard to believe what he said, so he swore to the sky: "This slave realizes that half a lie, Fang Jun just made a big iron lump, like an iron stove, and put it in the hearth Add coal to the fire, and then the iron lump will rumble all the way forward! There are no cattle, horses, manpower, or even water power. Yes, there were no less than a few thousand people under the mountain gate of Kunming Poolside Academy at that time, and everyone saw it!"

Changsun Wuji sat on a chair, stroked his beard and fell into deep thought.

He didn't think that his manager would dare to lie to him, let alone such an unimaginable lie... But he couldn't understand, even if the academy could turn steel into a monster, what use would it be?

Can that thing really eat people like a beast?
Or can it be pulled to the battlefield to fight?
Simply inexplicable...

I feel a little regretful in my heart, so I might as well go to watch the ceremony in person, so I can see what kind of rare thing Fang Jun has come up with.

Most of the ministers of the court and the central government did not attend the opening ceremony of the Academy today. People like Li Ji, Ma Zhou, Cheng Yaojin and others all had missions to sit in Chang'an City to guard against turmoil from the common people and merchants pouring into Chang'an. Although Wuji didn't have such a mission, he refused to go to watch the ceremony.

Just kidding, that Fang Jun regards the academy as a school of words, and now ten of the students enrolled are Guanlong's children. Everyone in the world knows that the Guanlong nobles lost a lot in the struggle for the number of admissions. After losing all face, how could these bigwigs in Guanlong be willing to add luster to the so-called opening ceremony?
Can't wait for something unexpected to happen during the ceremony...

Changsun Wuji was upset for a while.

Although His Majesty suppressed and restrained the nobles of Guanlong in the past, but with his profound background and influence in the Northwest Army, the big bosses headed by Changsun Wuji were actually not too worried.Suppress it, just suppress it, the courtiers are powerful and huddled together, even the emperor has to rush to worry, suppression is the norm, and it is strange to let it go.

As long as everyone hugs and twists into a rope, even if some profits are lost for a while, it will not be a big problem in the long run.

No matter how arbitrary the emperor is, he can't just focus on suppressing the ministers and completely ignore the turmoil in the court, right?The Guanlong nobles have prospered for hundreds of years and faced countless crises, so they still have confidence in this.

However, ever since the preparations for this academy started, Changsun Wuji felt an undercurrent that had been unstoppably turbulent and washed away the foundation of the nobles in Guanlong...
