People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 259 Bewitching People, Is It Not Enlightening

Old Master Song is about to cry,

You talk about articles with him, talk about the present and the past, and he can compete with the Confucians.

But in terms of fooling the emperor, he is not a quick-witted person.

After thinking for a long time, Song Lian could only bite the bullet and write it down:
"The days in the mountains were the happiest days for this old man. As a Taoist priest, this old man still thinks about holy things!

In the Taoist temple in the mountains, the old man is several times more efficient in learning!
Therefore, His Majesty asked the minister to study the history of the Yuan Dynasty, and it was the same wherever he should go!
It's just that I followed His Majesty to confer gods that day, witnessing His Majesty personally open the gate of heaven, and consecrate gods for the heroes!

Repairing the history of the Yuan Dynasty is a labor-intensive task. Since I do my best work when I am a Taoist priest, I also want to change to a Taoist temple, so the work will be more convenient!
Moreover, compiling history books for the former dynasty is a very symbolic thing!

His Majesty enshrined the gods in Chaotian Palace, where he studied books.

It is in accordance with God's will! "

In order to complete Zhang Yi's task, Lao Song has already started talking nonsense.

The Zhu family father and son laughed secretly, the human potential was really forced out!

Master Song seldom does this kind of thing, so he hesitated at the beginning, but later, his ideas opened up.

He began to speak eloquently, citing scriptures and classics, and talked about eighteen benefits of studying in Chaotian Palace.

Song Lian spoke dryly, and Zhu Biao thoughtfully asked someone to bring a cup of tea to Mr. Song.

When the old master finished speaking, he was also out of breath.

"Are you done?"

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's expressionless face, Song Lian felt uneasy.

Whether it works or not, he really tried his best.

"The Chaotian Palace has Fengshui, which is not bad!

You are the president, since you said that you are in a good mood to study there, then you should go there!

Come on, draft a decree!
Let Chaotian Palace preside over the palace to have an audience! "

……

Chaotian Palace.

When Deng Zhongxiu received the imperial decree, he still couldn't believe it!
The emperor suddenly let him enter the palace, which is almost equivalent to revealing the answer to the mystery.

His body was trembling, and he turned his head to look for the figure of his junior brother.

It's just that Zhang Yi didn't know where to go to avoid the imperial decree.

He just became the host of Chaotian Palace, because he is young and has little qualifications, he really needs a big event to prove himself.

He was the biggest beneficiary when the imperial court moved the place where the history of the Yuan Dynasty was repaired from Tianjie Temple to Chaotian Palace.

But Deng Zhongxiu didn't dare to be proud, because he knew that all this was given to him by his junior brother.

No matter from Song Lian's point of view, or from the emperor's point of view!
"Deng Daochang, don't make the emperor wait too long!"

Since he couldn't find Zhang Yi to share his joy, Deng Zhongxiu could only follow the eunuch into the palace to have an audience.

He himself was also very nervous. Since he knew the identity of the emperor, it seems that he hasn't really met the emperor yet?

This time the emperor summoned him, how should he face that "Master Huang"?
In this nervous mood, Deng Zhongxiu entered the palace.

Even though the emperor was frugal, the palace still opened Deng Zhongxiu's eyes.

"Eunuch, where are we going?"

Deng Zhongxiu asked the father-in-law who was leading the way, and the father-in-law turned around:

"The place we are going to is His Majesty's Imperial Study, which is just beyond the East Pavilion!

This is the first time for the Taoist priest to enter the palace, right? Later, remember to talk less and watch less. There are many taboos in this palace, and my father-in-law couldn't explain clearly at the moment. fine! "

Like Zhang Yi, the enthusiastic and sincere Xiao Deng is also easy to like.

The prince was willing to remind Xiao Deng after he had been in contact with him for a while.

Deng Zhongxiu hurriedly thanked Wang Gonggong. Wang Gonggong wanted to say something, and suddenly heard someone talking, and immediately knelt down.

"Father, I have learned ballistics. If you don't believe me, I will cover it up for you tomorrow...

I can use the skills above to achieve a hundred steps through Yang! "

The father-in-law pulled Deng Zhongxiu to kneel down, and Deng Zhongxiu listened to a child's voice, still guessing which prince the other party was.

"Fourth, don't brag, can you afford a bow and arrow that can go through a hundred paces?"

At the entrance of the imperial study room, Zhu Xi mercilessly exposed Zhu Di's words.

Zhu Di became angry from embarrassment:
"Second brother, at least I really hit the bull's-eye with ballistics skills, you still can't..."

Amidst the quarrel among the brothers, Deng Zhongxiu knew the identities of these children.

How many princes of His Majesty the Emperor, did he have the chance to meet today?
No, it may not necessarily be visible.

He was kneeling on the ground right now, not daring to raise his head at all.

"Father, you have to trust me. If it doesn't work, let's give it a try. You promise that if I learn it, I will let my son come out of the palace to play..."

"Okay, fourth, the guests are here!"

Master Huang's familiar voice came to Deng Zhongxiu's ears.

He just felt like a lifetime away, even if he knew the identity of the emperor at this time, he still couldn't believe it.

"Xiao Deng is here?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Deng Zhongxiu, he was just like the kind Mr. Huang.

Speaking of which, since Deng Zhongxiu discovered his identity, they haven't really had the chance to meet alone in private.

"Poverty pays homage to His Majesty!"

Deng Zhongxiu made a big gift to the emperor.

"Okay, okay, my own people, get up!"

Zhu Yuanzhang had a good impression of Deng Zhongxiu. Eight times out of ten times he went to the Qingxin Temple, he was angered by that brat Zhang Yi.

On the other hand, Deng Zhongxiu, a young man, always greeted him with a smile every time he entered the Pure Heart Temple, and warmly called himself Master Huang.

That kind of natural affinity is also a kind of talent.

He is obviously an NPC, but he can be remembered by Lao Zhu...

Deng Zhongxiu stood up and looked up at the emperor.

Today's Master Huang is different from him when he was named God.

Deng Zhongxiu used to think that Mr. Huang had an inexplicable temperament, but now that he thinks about it, it is reasonable for this temperament to match the identity of the emperor.

The emperor looked Deng Zhongxiu up and down as if looking at a junior:
"Good, good, the energy is different!

What are you doing in a daze, call someone! "

Zhu Yuanzhang said to Zhu Shuang, Zhu Di, and Zhu Min.

Several princes hurriedly greeted Deng Zhongxiu.

Deng Zhongxiu didn't dare to neglect, so he hurriedly returned the gift.

At this moment, Lao Zhu waved his hands impatiently:

"You guys go to your elder brother, he will test your homework today!
I will examine you later..."

After sending the qualified prince to the East Palace, the emperor said to Xiao Deng:
"Are you interested, walk around the garden with me and relax!

I have been sitting for a whole day, according to what your temple master said, if you sit for a long time, you will have a lumbar intervertebral disc...?
Anyway, let's move our muscles! "

What happened to the lumbar spine?

Anyway, Deng Zhongxiu didn't understand. The emperor asked him to follow, so he followed honestly.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't talk about business, but chatted about homely issues one after another.

Ask about Zhang Yi's situation, about Longhu Mountain and Chaotian Palace.

Even Xiao Mengyao and Zhu Yuanzhang asked a question.

It's easy to talk about private affairs, but the official affairs that the emperor assesses from time to time are the most important.

It was the first time Deng Zhongxiu saw Master Huang who appeared in the face of an emperor. His first impression of Zhu Yuanzhang was that he was fine...

Obviously he is the emperor aloof, Lao Zhu asked many questions and knew the details like the palm of his hand.

It is impossible to fool the emperor casually.

Fortunately, he himself is usually responsible, and he has done a good job in the work of Chaotian Palace.

Deng Zhongxiu answered Zhu Yuanzhang's questions one by one.

"This kid's method is so good that he actually included drinking boiled water in the Ten Lessons of the Medicine King!
I remember that he said before that if the people drink boiled water, the average lifespan of the people in the world can be increased by several years!

This effect can not be said first,

His method is much more effective than the boiling water order issued by me...

The little power in Longhushan's hands has been bald by your junior brother! "

Deng Zhongxiu followed with an apologetic smile,

The Ten Commandments of the Medicine King are precepts compiled by Zhang Yi for the belief of the Lord of Medicine. According to Zhang Yi, the most important thing for a sect is the construction of theories.

At that time, the genius Zhang Liusun came out and founded Xuanjiao.

The emperor loved Zhang Liusun so much that he almost named him a celestial master.

Ke Nuo is a big Xuanjiao, why did he fall in the end, far away from the center of power, in fact, Longhushan, which has been emptied, is getting better.

To put it bluntly, the 36 generations of celestial masters and subsequent generations of celestial masters have been supplementing and perfecting the system of Longhushan and Zhengyi.

Compared with the empty Xuanjiao, which was only supported by the imperial power.

In Longhu Mountain, far away in Jiangxi, one emperor after another survived.

The same is true for a mature belief system. The core competitiveness of the medicine king lies in the word "medicine king", which falls into reality.

Therefore, curing diseases and prolonging life means that the belief in the Lord of Medicine must be practical.

In fact, this is compared to his two competitors, Avalokitesvara who saves suffering and Bodhisattva Zhunti who responds to requests.

The difference between the Lord of Medicine and them is that the KPIs of helping people in need and responding to requests are illusory, but it is easy for people to talk about the matter of curing diseases and saving lives.

If you want to cure diseases and save lives, how can you do it without medicine?
If you put your faith into practice, drinking boiled water is the best choice.

Propaganda that drinking boiled water can cure diseases, is this okay?

Of course, if a person insists on drinking boiled water, he may not be able to see the difference in future generations with very good sanitary conditions.

But in this ancient time with very poor sanitary conditions, it can definitely tell the good from the bad.

In Zhang Yi's view, the precept of letting devout believers drink boiled water is much more beneficial than being a vegetarian.

When a devout follower of Medicine King drinks boiled water and lives longer than others, or gets sick less...

After the demonstration effect comes out, other common people will follow suit.

In this era of superstitious ghosts and gods, religion is far more effective in enlightenment than other means.

When Zhang Yi realized this, he went desperately into the precepts of Longhu Mountain to bring private goods.

Drinking boiled water means a waste of resources for very poor people.

If it is difficult to live, looking for firewood to boil water itself will increase the cost of living.

Even in the era when boiling water was advocated in later generations, not everyone could drink boiling water before the popularity of kettles...

But this is not the point. The point is that as long as a concept is formed, drinking boiled water is a good thing.

With the support of faith, people are willing to waste part of their energy doing such things when they can eat enough, and there will always be someone who will see the benefits.

When everyone sees the benefits, this habit is not just a habit, but a means of maintaining health and curing diseases.

Such things as medical treatment are worth the cost of living that the people are willing to pay.

Finally, drinking boiled water will still become popular.

Deng Zhongxiu told Zhang Yi's thoughts one by one, and Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes.

Regarding the internal reform of Longhushan, even if he is so close to Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi will not be full and have nothing to talk to him about.

But when Zhang Yi began to design new teachings for Longhushan.

Lao Zhu discovered that Longhushan, or rather, the platform of religion is a hundred times easier to use than he imagined.

He had only seen the demagogic side of the sect before.

But Zhang Yi told Zhu Yuanzhang that in fact, communication studies are not used in this way.

The common people are a group of mobs. Zhang Yi once told him a similar truth. In other words, as long as there are too many people and they gather together, it is a mob.

Public opinion can be guided, and rumors will not stop at wise men.

It is difficult to open up the wisdom of the people, so in this case, we should simply use the means to confuse the people and do the right thing.

Deng Zhongxiu also explained to Lao Zhu the other Ten Precepts of the King of Medicine, as well as the "Book of the King of Medicine" that Zhang Yi was going to compile.

That's right, after the "True Sutra of the Great Law of the Microcosmic World", another scripture was compiled.

If "The Supreme Being" is a classic that explains the microcosm and opens up another medical path.

"King of Medicine" is a practical manual.

It records how to filter dirty water, and how to disinfect water in the wild as much as possible if there is no way to boil the water.

Which Herbs Can Disinfect…

Common herbal remedies...

How to deal with infectious diseases after the plague spread!
This is basically a wilderness survival manual...

It is also Zhang Yi who implements his ideas and realizes the viewpoint of human Taoism.

Since the Taoism's belief propaganda is implemented in the word "pragmatic", then these should be brought to the extreme.

Zhu Yuanzhang's many methods here sound very common, even for a person who marches and fights, these common senses are no strangers to him.

But still the same sentence, promotion!
No one has ever thought of spreading this knowledge. Even if they want to spread it, how to spread it to the illiterate people is still a problem.

Using the method of religious communication can solve this problem to some extent!

"Isn't this a kind of enlightenment..."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately discovered the value of this "King of Medicine".

Not to mention the religious value, even this book itself can also be used as a teaching material for soldiers in marching and fighting.

During the hundreds of years of fighting, the ancestors did leave a lot of knowledge passed down from veterans to recruits by word of mouth.

But Zhang Yi integrated these knowledge, which is another concept.

Of course, if Lao Zhu knows the contents of Zhang Yi and refers a lot to "The Barefoot Doctor" and "Friends of Military Talents in Two Places", which are known as the magic books of time travel, then he will not be surprised.

Zhu Yuanzhang decided in an instant to publish a large number of "King of Medicine".

Even if this scripture is in the army, everyone must have a copy!
After Deng Zhongxiu said other things, Zhu Yuanzhang became more moved.

"Deng Zhongxiu..."

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke suddenly, and called out Xiao Deng's name seriously.

"Your Majesty, please order!"

Mr. Huang, that kind elder became the emperor after all. He knelt on the ground in fear and fear, waiting for the emperor's edict.

"I order you two things!
The first thing, I plan to put the revision of the history books of the previous dynasty in the Chaotian Palace, can you accept it? "

Deng Zhongxiu was overjoyed and said quickly:
"Your Majesty, I can take it..."

Zhu Yuanzhang continued:

"another thing……"

　Dragon Boat Festival, happy holidays everyone!
