Qian Song

Chapter 215 I help you green him (ask for a monthly ticket!)

...

The formation of "Three-Yuan Lantern Viewing" seems to be related to Buddhism and Taoism.

In the Zhao and Song Dynasties, with the rapid development of social economy, the custom of lighting lanterns has evolved into a lantern exhibition, and the color and meaning of religion have become very blurred. The Lantern Festival has been integrated with social entertainment activities and has become an organic part of social life. part.

Although in June of the first year of Song Taizong's Chunhua, the Zhao and Song courts had already ordered the suspension of the Zhongyuan and Xiayuan lantern exhibitions, as long as they concentrated their efforts on running the Shangyuan lantern exhibition.

However, the Zhongyuan Festival and the Xiayuan Festival were still a grand event in the Zhao and Song Dynasties. Usually, the folks would spontaneously hold celebrations on July [-] and October [-], and hold folk lantern shows.

When it comes to the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, the streets and alleys of Bianliang City in Tokyo will be decorated with lights and festoons. On Yuqian Street, the lantern market stretches for dozens of miles. All the citizens flock to the streets and come to the square in front of Xuande Building. There are huge crowds of people and it is very lively. .

In the era of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, the Sanyuan Lantern Festival was even more splendid and spectacular, with an unprecedented grand occasion.

Moreover, every year during the Shangyuan Festival to watch the lanterns, Zhao Ji would go to the Xuande Tower to have fun with the people.

Thaumaturgy and supernatural powers, singing and dancing, all intertwined, and the sound of music is noisy for more than ten miles.Ingenious skills, new eyes and ears every day.There are colorful lights on the mountain, golden and green, and beautiful and beautiful.

Upstairs in Xuande Tower are all hung with yellow flags. Zhao Ji sits in it and enjoys himself with the people.A lamp ball is hung on each of the two buildings, about a square meter in diameter. The rafters and candles are burned inside, and the music is also played inside the curtain, and the laughter of the palace concubines can be heard outside.

Wan surnames all watched from the balcony, and Wan surnames were cited when they were entertaining.

This year, the Zhao Song Dynasty is really full of disasters, especially at this time, there is still a great battle in the Yanyun area that will determine the fate of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Cai You, Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan and others then asked Zhao Ji, why not hold the Xiayuan Festival this year according to the standards of the Shangyuan Festival, and dilute some unhappiness and tension with celebration.

Zhao Ji felt that the invitation from Cai You and others was very necessary, so he specially approved that this year's Xiayuan Festival will be held according to the standards of Shangyuan Festival, and the whole country will celebrate it together.

In the great war in Yanyun area, if the Zhao Song Dynasty won, then all the mistakes that Zhao Ji made before could be covered up, and if the Zhao Song Dynasty lost, then even if the Zhao Song Dynasty would not perish, the emperor Zhao Ji would not die. It's almost the end.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhao Ji bet everything on him in this battle.

It's no wonder that Zhao Ji is nervous.

Unexpectedly, it was originally an excellent celebration, but it was disturbed by an unexpected incident.

Here's the thing.

When Zhao Ji and Empress Zheng were sitting on the Xuande Tower watching the lanterns, a monk in black cloth suddenly ran out of the crowd and rushed directly to the Xuande Tower.

Under normal circumstances, the emperor must have guards to ensure the safety of the emperor when he watches the lanterns from the imperial tower.

But today I don't know what's going on. Kaifeng Mansion, which is in charge of security work, didn't arrange guards downstairs in Xuande.

Zhao Ji was standing alone under the window of the west building, and Mrs. Zheng was sitting in the middle of the building. For some reason, there were no eunuchs, maids or attendants beside them.

Under such circumstances, the monk suddenly came not far from Zhao Ji, pointed at Zhao Ji, and said loudly to Zhao Ji: "You are God, what kind of god is there? You dare to destroy my religion. If I speak to you now, I will repay you." It’s almost here! I still don’t fear you, how can you destroy the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas?”

Many people present heard the monk's words, and they were all at a loss and shocked.

And Zhao Ji himself was directly scolded by the monks!

"retribution?!"

"What retribution?!"

"Why is this monk scolding me?!"

"..."

Not long after, palace guards came running from a distance and arrested the monk.

After Zhao Ji came to his senses, he ordered on the spot that Kaifeng Mansion should deal with the case immediately.

The more Zhao Ji thought about it, the more frightened he became!
——If this monk came to assassinate Zhao Ji, then Zhao Ji might have died just now.

Afraid, annoyed, and disturbed by the monk, Zhao Ji came to Kaifeng Mansion in person, wanting to see what the monk wanted to do?
After the monk saw Zhao Ji again, he said: "Will I run away from you? I showed you this so that you know what to do. Why should I teach you? Listen to your suffering, and I will not say anything now."

The monk did what he said, and after that, no matter what others asked him, he kept silent.

Seeing that the monks didn't say anything, Wang Shiyong, the governor of Kaifeng, who knew he was negligent, began to impose various severe punishments on the monks.

However, what is strange is that the monk still didn't say a word, and he didn't feel any pain at all.

Zhao Ji was completely irritated by the monk, so he ordered Taoist priest Song Chongmiao to come over immediately.

Song Chong was very good at practicing heavenly methods, that is, he was good at catching ghosts and subduing demons. He was very famous in the Zhao and Song Dynasties, and he was known as Master Song in the world.

Song Chongmiao was also very curious about this monk, so he soon came to Kaifeng Mansion.

But Song Chongmiao looked at the monk, and said to Zhao Ji helplessly: "The evil spirits that I rule, I can't recognize this person."

Seeing this, Wang Shiyong continued to torture the monk, cutting off his tendons, and using knives, his flesh and blood were messed up.

However, Wang Shiyong tossed and tortured the monk for a day and a night until he tortured the monk to death, and the monk didn't say a word again.

There have been four Buddhist extermination campaigns in Chinese history, namely, the seventh year of Emperor Taiwu Zhenjun of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the third year of Jiande of Emperor Wudi of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the fifth year of Huichang Emperor Wuzong of Tang Dynasty, and the second year of Xiande Emperor Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty. "The law is difficult.

Although Zhao Ji did not carry out the act of destroying Buddhism, he also denounced Buddhism, respected Taoism, and did some things that harmed Buddhism.

In the early years, Zhao Ji heard the words of Taoist Lin Lingsu and believed that he was the "eldest son of God" King Shenxiao Yuqing descended to earth, named "Longevity Emperor", and issued an edict to the whole country to change Tianning Wanshou Palace to Shenxiao Yuqing Wanshou Palace. There is a statue of the emperor of longevity in the hall.

Zhao Ji said to Dao Luyuan again: "I am the son of Haotian God, the emperor of Daxiao. I saw that China was burned by Jindi's teachings, and I sacrificed myself for enlightenment. I felt very sorry, so I begged God. Willing to be the master of the people, so that the world will return to the right way. Pleased by the emperor, let the younger brother Qinghua Emperor rule over my big night mansion. I am terrified every day, and I am afraid that my teaching has not been set up for a week, and you can put a seal on it and book me as The leader, the Taoist emperor."

Therefore, the ministers and the Daolu Academy made a list.

However, Zhao Ji's honorary title is only applicable to the sects of the sect, not to political affairs.

Later, Zhao Ji issued an edict: "The name of the Buddha was changed to Dajue Zhenxian, and the rest was the name of immortal and great scholar. The monk is a German scholar, who changes clothes and is called a surname. The temple is a palace, and the courtyard is a temple, that is, the abbot is Zhigong Temple. thing."

Soon, Zhao Ji issued another edict: "Rename Ni as Nvde."

These things may have been planned and instigated by Lin Lingsu behind the scenes.

——Lin Lingsu seems to have a lot of hatred for Buddhism. He wants to abolish the Shi family and asks Zhao Ji to rename all the Buddhist names.

Zhao Ji had no doubts about Lin Lingsu, so he decreed to abolish the Buddha.

Zhao Ji's abolition of Buddhism caused an uproar in the Buddhist circle. Not only monks from all over the country continued to resist, but also the court ministers had different attitudes towards the abolition of Buddha. Some supported it, while others opposed it.

Later, Lin Lingsu was dismissed and exiled for some reason, and was given death soon.

The vigorous abolition of Buddhism lasted until June of the second year of Xuanhe, shortly before Li Cun and Fang La's uprising, when Zhao Ji, under internal and external pressure, had to issue a special edict to restore the titles of monasteries and monks and nuns.

However, Zhao Ji's abolition of Buddha caused damage to the Buddhist world, which probably cannot be repaired by a single edict.

No, the Futu clan came to seek revenge on Zhao Ji.

The monk on the front foot had just been killed by Wang Shiyong, when the urgent report from Tong Guan on the back foot arrived.

After Zhao Ji read Tong Guan's urgent report at a glance, he flickered, and then sat down on the ground.

Finished!

The Song Dynasty is over!

He, Zhao Ji, is also finished!

Seeing this, Zhang Di hurried over and helped Zhao Ji onto the dragon chair.

After waiting for a while, Zhao Ji hurriedly said to Zhang Di: "Hurry up! Hurry up and see the ministers!"

……

Compared with Zhao Ji's place where the sky is falling, Li Cun's place is completely different.

The subjects of the Dagan Dynasty are also celebrating the Xiayuan Festival happily.

No.

It should be said that the subjects of the Dagan Dynasty were all celebrating. The Dagan Dynasty defeated the Zhao Song Dynasty and the Dajin Kingdom with one enemy and two.

Among them, the people in Yanyun area are the happiest.

After this battle, the Dagan Dynasty has demonstrated its ability to protect the Yanyun region from any invasion.

The people of Yanyun area, who have been baptized by the flames of war for many years, can finally live in peace.

In addition, the Dagan Dynasty demonstrated its outstanding governance capabilities.

People in Yanyun area believe that they can live a stable and happy life.

Even many gentry and nobles who were still stubbornly resisting in Yundi before, chose to surrender after learning that the Daqian Dynasty defeated the Zhao Song Dynasty and the Dajin Kingdom with one enemy and two.

As for those diehards.

After defeating the two powerful enemies of the Zhao Song Dynasty and the Dajin Kingdom, the Qianjun will be able to completely free up their hands to completely destroy them.

It's just a matter of time.

Li Cun finally and completely completed the achievement of recovering the Yanyun area.

Leaving aside Li Cun's greater achievement of the possibility of completing the great unification, let's just say that Li Cun has completed the achievement of recovering the Yanyun area that the Han people had lost for more than 200 years, which is enough for Li Cun to touch the Qin Emperor, Han Wu, Tang Zong's tail is gone, and he can even despise Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.

You must know that the Yanyun area is a vital strategic location for the Central Plains Dynasty.

in history,
The Yanyun area has always been in the hands of the Hu people. It is a pity for the 300 years of the Song Dynasty, it is the obsession of all the emperors of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, and it is the lifelong dream of countless Chinese heroes.

Among them are Xin Qiji who was still shouting "kill the thief" before his death, Yue Fei who died of injustice, the tragic poet Lu You and so on.

Only the credit for recovering the Yanyun area is enough to make Li Cun's name last forever.

Since the late Tang Dynasty, the haze of more than 200 years has been swept away.

Since the Khitan invaded the Central Plains at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Yanyun area has been ruled by foreigners for more than 200 years. The Han people here in Yanyun area and the Han people in other areas of the Central Plains have had a serious separation in terms of identity.

If things go on like this, the Han nationality will be split into two nationalities.

At this time, in the Yanyun area, the Huhua phenomenon of the Han people was very serious.

It turns out that the Han people pay attention to the ancestral teaching of "the body, hair and skin, and the parents", and the Han people in the Yanyun area have long since disappeared.

For the Han people in the Yanyun area, the men all shaved off the middle of the top of their heads, leaving only two "weeping willows" as small braids, while the women's clothes were exactly the same as those of Khitan women. The left lapel clothing of the clothes means that the front of the clothes is opened to the left. Even the statue of Liu Xiu in the Liuxiu Temple is also dressed in the left lapel Hu suit, and even the statues of Confucius in some areas are dressed in the Hu suit.

It can be said that the more than 200 years of Huhua has already integrated the Yanyun area into the culture of foreign races.

At this time, the Yanyun area urgently needs a hero who has strong enough military capabilities to quickly recover the Yanyun area, has a high enough Han cultural awareness ability to implement the compulsory policy of reshaping Han culture as soon as possible, and needs a strong enough political power The ability to formulate a ruling framework can allow the dynasty to persist for a long enough time to consolidate and develop the deformed Han culture.

God bless China.

I don't know which god sent Li Cun to this era, so that Li Cun recovered the Yanyun area.

Li Cun regained the Yanyun area with thunderous momentum, and used strong means to bring order out of chaos, so that the Yanyun area returned to my Huaxia's embrace, and it completely returned to my Huaxia's embrace.

In this regard, Li Cun is very proud and very happy.

In addition, the Zhao Song Dynasty and the Dajin Kingdom were defeated.

Li Cun gave a rare Quyan to entertain all the ministers.

The courtiers of the Dagan Dynasty also saw that His Majesty was really happy today.

The key point is that the Daqian Dynasty has already demonstrated the strength of unification.

In other words, Li Cun is likely to become a unified emperor, just like Emperor Qin, Han, Wu and Tangzong.

How could the ministers of the Daqian Dynasty be unhappy, they toasted Li Cun one after another, and said auspicious words to compliment Li Cun.

Li Cun actually doesn't like drinking very much.

But Li Cun is really happy today, so he doesn't refuse anyone who comes.

Before he knew it, Li Cun drank too much.

When Li Cun still had a sliver of clarity, he said to Li Gang, Chen Kuutong, Liu Yanzong and other ministers: "Several lovers entertain you for me, and I will go back to rest first."

Afterwards, Li Cun, escorted by his ministers, left the palace and returned to the harem.

Li Cun came to the depths of the harem step by step, and suddenly heard someone chanting there:

Searching and searching, deserted and desolate, desolate and miserable.When it is warm and cold, it is the most difficult to breathe.Three cups and two cups of light wine, how can you fight against him, and the wind comes late?The wild goose has passed, and I am sad, but it is an old acquaintance.Yellow flowers piled up all over the ground.Haggard and worn out, who can pick it up now?Watching the window, how can I be dark alone?The sycamore tree is also accompanied by drizzle, bit by bit at dusk.For the first time this time, what a word of worry!
Li Cun's heart moved, and he followed the voice to find it.

When he came to a bedroom where female officials lived, Li Cun looked in through the window.

I saw Li Qingzhao, dressed as a female official, sitting by the window and drinking by herself.

I don't know if it's because of his drunken eyes looking at the beauties. At this moment, Li Cun feels that Li Qingzhao, who is a half-aged lady, is like a fairy.

Ever since he became emperor, Li Cun sometimes had a really hard time controlling his desires.

Fortunately, Li Cun and drug gambling are irreconcilable, neither hurting the nobles nor jeopardizing state affairs.

Now, Li Cun will not be able to control his desire even more with the help of the wine power from above.

Li Cun quietly entered Li Qingzhao's room.

The guards and eunuchs, seeing Li Cun's uplifting spirit, dared to spoil the fun, they spontaneously surrounded Li Qingzhao's room, and prevented anyone from approaching, to ensure Li Cun's safety.

Li Cun quietly came behind Li Qingzhao, without saying a word, he hugged Li Qingzhao into his arms.

Li Qingzhao was startled, and subconsciously wanted to struggle.

Unexpectedly, Li Cun lay down next to Li Qingzhao's ear and said, "Don't move, it's me."

Hearing Li Cun's voice, Li Qingzhao forgot to struggle.

After reacting for a while, Li Qingzhao quickly lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty is drunk, and this concubine is a married woman."

Hearing this, Li Cun began to grope Li Qingzhao's body dishonestly, and said, "You have been here for almost a year, and Zhao Mingcheng has not come to pick you up. Maybe Zhao Mingcheng has forgotten you?"

Originally, Li Qingzhao was already ready to reach out to grab Li Cun's troublesome hand, and told Li Cun not to behave like this.

But Li Cun's words made Li Qingzhao pause again.

In fact, Li Qingzhao was indescribably miserable.

Just now, Li Qingzhao was actually sad about this matter, so he created "Slow Voice" with Jiu Jin.

Li Cun leaned his head against Li Qingzhao's ear again, and said, "Don't you hate Zhao Mingcheng?"

don't hate? !
Li Qingzhao almost hated Zhao Mingcheng, a heartless man, forgot about himself. He had been away from home for almost a year, so it was fine if he didn't come to pick him up, not to mention sending someone to see how he was doing. How can there be such a husband? !
Seeing that Li Qingzhao didn't speak, Li Cun knew he was right.

Li Cun tempted Li Qingzhao like a devil, "I help you green Zhao Mingcheng, and help you take revenge on Zhao Mingcheng, how about it?"

Hearing Li Cun's words, Li Qingzhao didn't know why, but was very moved!

But Li Qingzhao still has a layer of moral shackles in her heart, so she must not do this.

Li Qingzhao's conscience also repeatedly said to her: "This is wrong, Li Qingzhao, you must not take this step!"

However, when Li Qingzhao was still at war between heaven and man, Li Cun, who was very good at seizing opportunities, had already kissed Li Qingzhao.

Then Li Qingzhao's mind went blank, and Li Cun carried her to the bed...
