My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Wang Lin knew it was called Shengci.

The practice of building temples for living people began in the Han and Tang dynasties, and it seems...it became very common in the Song Dynasty?

Gao Cheng of the Song Dynasty wrote in "The Chronicle of Things": "Han Ping Gong was the county magistrate Cao, and the prison was leveled. In the county, there was a shrine for life. Since the three generations, there have been no one who has set up a shrine for life. This is the beginning of this. The shrine was set up when he was born. Yu Han Shi also."

But in the later Ming and Qing Dynasties, it became absurd.

For example, Wei Zhongxian, the great eunuch of the Ming Dynasty who had ancestral temples all over the world, was [-] years old.

Wang Lin smiled wryly, and refused again and again: "Three great Confucian scholars, all scholars, absolutely not! How can Gu Hede dare to build a shrine and stand side by side with the most holy teacher? Nonsense!!"

Zhang Kui said with emotion: "Great Master, Confucius wrote "Spring and Autumn" to establish Confucianism, while the Great Master promoted the inheritance of sages and wrote "Four Books and Five Classics Collected Notes", which established the foundation of Confucianism, benefited the world's scholars, and saved thousands of people. It is difficult to save a country, but whoever is not a great master has made meritorious deeds, made speeches, and made great achievements in the past and present?"

"This achievement should be erected in the Confucian Temple forever, accepting the worship of scholars all over the world, and it will be immortal forever."

Cheng Yuanjing and Zhou Ziyan also bowed and bowed tremblingly.

Dozens of scholars behind them also bowed down, most of them emotional.

Three contemporary Confucian scholars led a group of scholars to break into King Yan's mansion, begged repeatedly, wept bitterly, and demanded to have a statue of Wang Lin erected, and to be placed in the Confucian Temple alongside Confucius... This incident caused a sensation in the entire King Yan mansion and the Grand Marshal's mansion.

Yue Fei and other generals were quite speechless upon hearing this.

Wang Lin saw a group of scholars chasing after him "unyielding and not letting go", as if swearing not to give up if he failed to achieve his goal, he reached out and rubbed the center of his brows.

Of course, it must be admitted that Zhang Kui and others have good intentions.

It also shows from one aspect that the publication of "Yan Wang Four Books and Five Classics Collected Notes" and "Yan Wang Reading Method" had a wide-ranging impact on the entire Confucian society.

In particular, "Yanwang Four Books and Five Classics Collected Notes", as a sharp weapon for scientific examination, as long as the imperial examination system exists and Confucianism still exists, Wang Lin's name will be immortal.

In fact, Zhu Xi was also canonized because of this.

But Wang Lin knew very well that the three of Zhang Kui also had selfish intentions.

As disciples of the Grand Master, and as one of the writers of "Four Books and Five Classics Annotations of the King of Yan", the names of the three of them will be further spread throughout the world with Wang Lin's canonization.

For the three dying old Confucians, is there a better way to become famous than this?
Even after the death of the three of them, their disciples will continue to push for another statue of the three on the left and right sides of Wang Lin's sacred image, and continue to create gods.

The corner of Wang Lin's mouth twitched.

He was silent for a moment, went up to help Zhang Kui and the others himself, and sighed: "To live alone on the king's salary, to share the country's worries, to read the books of sages and sages, to promote the learning of sages, are all the duties of my job, and I will never dare to be so arrogant as to set up a statue to enjoy it." Confucian Temple...everyone, don't mention this matter again! Please don't let the orphan...be stigmatized for thousands of years and become a clown!"

Wang Lin bowed to this group of excited scholars, turned around and entered his study neatly, and then ordered Tiger God Guard to close the door, no matter how much Zhang Kui led them to plead, he would not agree.

Wang Lin knew that what he called building morality, making speeches and making contributions today—the root of everything lies in resisting gold.

The anti-golden great cause is successful, he can be immortal without such a laborious god-making movement, and he is the founding emperor of a generation;
And if it is defeated by the golden man, everything will be scattered like birds and beasts, and it will immediately fall from the altar and become the butt of ridicule for future generations.

Although Wang Lin doesn't care much about the aftermath, he only pays attention to living in the present, death is like a lamp going out, why think so much.

But after all, he is unwilling to be written into the history books as a stain of history, and to be rubbed on the ground over and over again by future generations.

The stalemate between the two sides lasted until evening, when Zhang Kui and the three finally left with a group of scholars.

After hearing the news, Zhu Lian and other women came to the study room. Seeing Wang Lin's strange expression, Zhu Lian couldn't help but chuckled and said, "My lord, since the founding of our dynasty, it is common for people everywhere to build shrines for those who have made meritorious deeds to the common people. For example, there was a shrine to Zhang Shuye and Zhang Taiwei in the city of Zhending, but it was later heard that it was burned by Jin soldiers.
destroyed. "

Chongde also laughed and said, "That's right, Cai Jing and the other six thieves also had living shrines in various places, so the female gangsters of this country can still accept the world's pilgrimage, incense and sacrifices, let alone the master who has made great achievements in the world, and wrote books and lectures. Wanmin! In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with sharing incense with saints.”

Liang Hongyu smiled and said: "Master, Zhang Ru and the others seem to have some selfish intentions. They have been trying to set up sacred images for Mr. Xiang these days. As long as Mr. Xiang can be consecrated, they are the direct disciples of the great master and the writers of the "Four Books and Five Classics Annotations" One of them, it will be a matter of course to become a saint in the future.”

Wang Lin gave Liang Hongyu a thumbs up and said: "Hongyu really sees clearly. So, I definitely can't agree to such absurd things. What do I want these false names for?
The foundation of our foothold lies in anti-gold. If the great cause is successful, everything can be accomplished, but if the great cause is difficult, everything will cease.

What if you just erected ten thousand holy images for me?Sooner or later he is the laughing stock of the world. "

"Besides, I'm still alive and well. It feels too weird to suddenly build a statue for people to worship."

All three girls laughed.

Xiao Duolilai and Yelu Yuliyan who were standing behind Wang Lin were also smiling.

In fact, the Liao people also had models of Jiansheng temples in China, but there were fewer models than the Song people.

Wang Lin chatted and laughed with the girls, and had some dinner together, and then they were going to return to the private courtyard, leaving Chongde to sleep in the study.

The girls got up to leave, Chongde's pretty face turned red.

In the absence of Wang Lin's special roll call, Zhu Lian's daughters usually come to the study in order to accompany them. Of course, Wang Lin will go directly to their residences, so that's another matter.

At this time, Yan Qing rushed to him, stood in the courtyard and shouted loudly: "My lord, urgent military report, Jin Wanyan Loushi led ten thousand riders to raid Suicheng!"

……

Zhendingfu Xuezhengtang.

This place is the residence of Zhang Kui's three great Confucian scholars in Zhending.

As night fell, the main hall of the school was brightly lit, with bright red candles.

Zhang Kui and the others were emotionally excited and suffered from the wind and cold for most of the day. They all had symptoms of headache and fever, and kept sneezing and coughing.

The entourage of the three people immediately brought up the boiled ginger soup and shared a bowl for each of them.

The three of Zhang Kui drank a bowl of hot ginger soup each, and sweated, and then they felt a little revived.

Zhang Kui sat on the futon, holding the three strands of black beard in his hand, and sighed, "Everyone, the Grand Master is so humble, and refuses to agree, what can I do?"

Zhou Ziyan pondered and said: "Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, countless people have built ancestral temples all over the world. With the great achievements of the great masters, they have educated the world's scholars and established the great virtues that are the foundation of my Neo Confucianism. The meaning of the title. The great master is afraid that he is a self-proclaimed disciple of the saint, and suddenly he is side by side with the saint..."

Cheng Yuanjing also said: "With the talents, virtues, merits, and achievements of the great masters, they are unparalleled in the past and present, and there is nothing wrong with being a saint! It is also expected by the scholars of the world!"

Hebei scholar Zhang Lin suddenly got up and said: "Three gentlemen, the students thought that since the great master dared not overstep and was on the same level as Confucius, then in order to show the great master's merits and virtues, it is better to build a shrine alone. The students heard that Zhending City In the Central Plains there was a temple of Zhang Taiwei, which was later destroyed by Jin soldiers, I think it is better to rebuild it into the temple of King Yan, how about it?"

When Zhang Kui and the others heard this, their eyes lit up.

Xiao Kai, a scholar from Henan, echoed loudly: "Scholars in my life donated money to build their own. This is a folk behavior. The great master can't stop it anymore. Students can see that this is a success!"

Zhang Kuilue pondered for a moment, and then he clapped the table and exclaimed: "Yes, yes! Everyone, there are at least one or two thousand scholars in Zhendingfu City. You and I call on scholars from all over the world to donate money to rebuild Yanwang Temple!"

Xiao Kai turned his eyes and said: "Zhang Ru, the students think that we can follow the example of Luoyang Wuhou Temple. In addition to setting up a golden statue of King Yan in the middle, the two classes can create several civil and military statues. Wenzi should be headed by three gentlemen. Wu, students often hear that there are four generals under King Yan: Yue, Yan, Han, and Ma..."

Zhang Kui's face remained unchanged, but his heart was ecstatic, and he slowly chanted: "The attachment of the people's hearts is the obedience of the heart of heaven. I respect the king of Yan to fight against the outside world, educate the scholars, save Li Shu, and serve the army and the people. It is not only about knowledge." When the outline is always the same, it is still full
In addition, the Department of Soldiers, Farmers, Rituals and Music helped its prosperity together, and its achievements in Zhiping were well-received... Therefore, we should set up the Temple of the King of Yan to respect it! "

Cheng Yuanjing and Zhou Ziyan got up slowly, nodded and said: "What Xiao Sheng said is very true. In this case, why not ask Xiao Sheng to take the lead in building this Yanwang Temple. On the day the temple is completed, we should gather scholars from all over the world, The monument will last forever!"

……

Wanyan Loushi led an army to invade?

Wang Lin was furious.

Not long after the armistice agreement was signed, the Jin people backtracked on their promises. This kind of treacherous race can still have the great fortune to establish a country and destroy the Liao Kingdom.

Fortunately, when Wang Lin was in Shangjing, he also intercepted Wu Qimai and A Guda's luck.

Otherwise, the Northern Song Dynasty would have died long ago, right?
"Xiaoyi, Pengju, can Suicheng be defended?"

However, after hearing that Wanyan Loushi only came with Wanqi, Wang Lin understood that Wanyan Loushi came to plunder Caogu instead of launching a full-scale invasion war, so he was not too worried.

Besides, Zhending is the Shijiazhuang of later generations, and the line of Suicheng is Baoding of later generations. The distance between the two is only more than 100 kilometers. Now the Song army in Hebei is nearly 30.

"Master, Guan Sheng's [-] troops will arrive at Suicheng at noon tomorrow. In addition, the students have been ordered to seek peace with Yao Gu. The western army will set off early tomorrow morning to reinforce Suicheng. Suicheng will be in danger for at most two days It can be solved!"

Wang Lin stood under the map and pondered for a long time, then suddenly punched and smashed on the map: "***golden dog, you are too bullying!
Pengju, you go back to the camp quickly, order [-] iron cavalry, no food, no supplies, detour around Yizhou, march quickly to cut off the back road of Wanyan Loushi, and then close the door and beat the dog!

With your [-] troops and Guan Sheng's [-] troops, you can get [-] soldiers and horses to attack Wanyan Loushi from three sides, one hundred thousand against [-], and strive to wipe out Wanyan Loushi's ten thousand riders in Baigou south of the river! "

"Little Yi, order Tiger God Guard Wanqi, and send out troops tomorrow morning, and follow me to Xijing Datong for a tour."

Yue Fei bowed to accept the order.

Yan Qing said softly: "My lord, if this is the case, isn't it equivalent to our army declaring a full-scale war on the Jin people?"

"Gu said, people don't attack me, I don't attack people, if people attack me, I will attack! For tigers and wolves like the golden man, the only way is to retaliate with an eye for an eye, otherwise, if you take a step back, he will take three steps forward. !"

……

Xiao Duolilai and Yelu Yuliyan were woken up in the middle of the night and went to the study, the two women felt a little dazed.But after entering the study, he saw that Chongde was dressing and changing Wang Lin's armor and clothes in person, while Liang Hongyu was already fully dressed and standing aside with his sword pressed.

Xiao Duolilai: "..."

Yelu Yuliyan rolled his eyes and said in surprise, "My lord, is this going to an expedition?"

Wang Lin smiled lightly, let Chongde fasten the belt of the cloak for him, and then said: "I'm going to Liao for a while, and I'll meet Yelvding by the way, you can go with me."

Xiao Duolilai and Yelu Yuliyan were shocked.

But they are all eager to try.

This place is at most three or four hundred miles away from the land of Liao, and that is their homeland!
