In the sixth year of Zhenguan, it was early summer.
The city of Chang'an looked particularly majestic under the sunshine.
The splendid palaces shone like palaces in the sky.
The carved beams and painted buildings looked majestic.
The entire imperial city of the Tang Dynasty was bathed in the sunshine.
It looks majestic like the palace of the Emperor of Heaven.
Countless carriages and horses went in and out of Chang'an City, passing by like a shuttle.
It's prosperous, but no one knows how many stormy waves lurk behind this prosperity.
Northwest of Chang'an City, Xiuzhenfang is a quiet courtyard.
At this time, four people were sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard, and another person was standing next to him, waiting.
These five people actually decided where Taoism, one of the two most powerful religions in the Tang Dynasty, should go from here.
There was silence in the field, no one spoke.
After the fierce confrontation before, the two sides almost came to blows.
If Sun Simiao hadn't been there as a buffer, I'm afraid the remaining four people here would have started fighting. .
These people are all the most famous figures in the world today.
Two of them are the Imperial Masters of the Tang Dynasty.
One of them is Yuan Shoucheng’s disciple, and the other is the most popular prince in the Tang Dynasty.
These people can be said to be stomping all over the Tang Dynasty.
A person who wants to fight three times.
They all refused to give in.
The three Taoists had to bargain with the youngest boy here for a thousand years of inheritance, and the most powerful one was Li Kuan.
He sat on the Diaoyutai, unmoved.
No matter what conditions the other party offered, he ignored them.
He only had one request, and that was to nationalize the land occupied by the conduit.
They refused to give in on this point, and they did not give in at all to the Taoist conditions for issuing more ultimatums every year.
It's not that he can't decide, as long as he speaks.
Then Li Er can certainly get by, after all, Taoism still has such a great influence among the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Especially after Li Er ascended the throne, the Tang Dynasty has been experiencing constant natural disasters.
Every year.
There will always be natural disasters in the vast territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the people need a place of sustenance to persevere.
These were the most pitiful and lovable people in the Tang Dynasty.
They had no extravagant hopes.
They did not ask for high-ranking officials or generous salaries, nor did they ask for great wealth.
They only wanted to have a full meal and warm clothes.
However, although the Tang Dynasty's vitality has been recovering in recent years, some people still don't have enough to eat.
Wearing warm clothes, Taoism and Buddhism have a market at this time.
Countless people place their hopes on these gods and Buddhas, hoping that they can bless them and achieve their meager desires.
"Your Highness King Chu, how can you say such insincere words?
In the past thousand years, my Taoist family has saved thousands of people from fire and water, regardless of natural disasters.
In wars and peace, when has Taoism ever treated the people badly?
When there are natural disasters, Taoism does the same.
To relieve the victims, there are countless Taoists wandering around All over the Tang Dynasty.
His Royal Highness the King of Chu should be very aware of this.
Mr.
Sun Simiao is the most outstanding representative.

Now the imperial court intends to exterminate all Taoists.
Isn't this derisive?"
Yuan Shoucheng He said to Li Kuan very seriously.
"Taoism is indeed good to the people.
But you get more from the people, let alone anything else.
Master Zhang, do you dare to say how much of the sesame oil money you get from Longhu Mountain every year is used for the people?
How much money and food did you spend to build your Taoist palace on Longhu Mountain?
Where did it come from?
Taoism values tranquility and inaction, and Longhu Mountain is famous throughout the country.
This seems to be contrary to the purpose of Taoism."
Li Kuan also counterattacked: "And not to mention anything else, in the spring of this year, you actually tried to force the imperial court to agree to open up the ultimatum restrictions.
Threatening the imperial court, how can my father agree to this?"
"This is our fault, but His Majesty also wants to push us to a dead end, so he has to come up with this plan.
How about in exchange for my fortune-telling for the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Daoyou and I?"
Zhang Daoqin also compromised at this time.
The Tang court was already full-fledged and could no longer tolerate the two major religions that had always been aloof within the empire.
"The fate of the country, haha.
How can the fortune of the Tang Dynasty be divined by others?
All of this is under the control of the Tang Dynasty.
No matter what, good or bad, it is all done by myself.
There are thousands of changes in this world, who dares to say Able to discern the secrets of heaven."
Li Kuan sneered and said disdainfully.
"It is inevitable that the Tang Dynasty will prosper, but three disasters and nine calamities are unavoidable.
Three disasters for heaven and earth.
Now the Tang Dynasty has experienced two, and there is still one last one left.
I don't know if this can be exchanged for my Taoist family to survive.
"Yuan Shoucheng sighed.
This was his last trump card, and it was something he had mentioned to Li Kuan before, but now he had to reveal it.
If this fails to impress Li Kuan, then they may have to go overseas like those secluded schools.
Although Taoism will not be seriously damaged, it will have to start over from scratch, and the accumulation of these thousands of years will be in vain.
"Three disasters and nine calamities are just tricks to bluff people.
Who else in the world can make things difficult for the Tang Dynasty?
Who can defeat it?
Not to mention the Tubo on the plateau.
They have not yet completed their unification.
In addition, the bitter cold on the plateau makes it impossible to grow food, and the Bon religion they believe in is a waste of money.
They want to become the leader of the Tang Dynasty.
It will take some years to defeat the enemy.
Goryeo has been destroyed, and Silla will not have any major problems within a few decades.
Moreover, if my father does not guard this country, then there will be any disasters."
Li Kuan did not believe it.
It's something made up by the Taoist priests themselves, such as three, six or nine.
These numbers sound nice to say, but they are just random nonsense.
Since there are three disasters and nine tribulations, why not nine but three?
"Disasters divide the world.

The so-called heaven and earth are dark and yellow.
Everything in this world has laws.
Since we have experienced military disasters and locust plagues, the last disaster should be regarded as a natural disaster, not wind, thunder, rain and snow, but a star display."
Yuan Shoucheng did not care about Li Kuan attitude, self-care Said: "Although the old Taoist is old and weak, he still has some understanding of the stars in the sky.
In the past few years, the old Taoist has been frightened.
It seems that something is about to happen, but it has always been blurry.
There is only a vague aura, which seems to be a female.
Chicken Sichen” "What are you talking nonsense about?"
Li Kuan didn't believe it at all.
Now that Li Er was still alive, and Empress Changsun's body was already healthy after being recuperated by Sun Simiao, she couldn't be any healthier.
She definitely wouldn't If he died as early as recorded in history, then with this eternal sage sitting in the harem, what kind of woman can reach out to the court?
Could it be that she didn't die quickly enough?
If there is such a woman, then she must be the eldest grandson. queen.
But as a smart woman, the Queen naturally knows those things that she can intervene in, and those things that she absolutely cannot get involved in.
After all, Queen Changsun is not Wu Meiniang.
He doesn't have that kind of ambition, and Li Er is not a softie like Zhinu.
He is very talented but lacks courage.
In the end, Li Zhi was usurped from the throne by the woman Wu Meiniang, actually because he had a softer temper.
If he had that courage, why would he need Wu Meiniang in the harem to come forward to solve the problems in the court?
If he could handle it alone, it would be over.
Isn't it a pleasure to leave the woman who harbors the dream of the queen in the harem to keep warm?
thing.
"If this is really the case, then why should the old Taoist have been searching hard for these years?
The sky is ever-changing and unpredictable, but there is a certain destiny, just like His Highness.
When the Old Taoist and Your Highness met for the first time, they saw the Geng-Gold White Tiger. these years palace Even though I have been escaping, I still embarked on this road full of blood and evil.
Walking down the thorny road, it is not just the evil spirit that kills the Geng Jin White Tiger, this is the fate of His Highness."
Yuan Shoucheng did not say much, insisting on his own statement.
"Even so, so what.
Since this is the disaster of the Tang Dynasty, then let the Tang Dynasty bear it.
Wouldn't it be the best choice for Taoists to go aside and cool down and stay out of the matter?
If the Tang Dynasty falls under this disaster, then Is it true that Taoism can come out again and continue the comfortable life it has enjoyed for thousands of years?"
Li Kuan did not believe in Yuan Shoucheng's words at all.
These magic sticks spoke eloquently, but in fact they were just rhetoric without any substantive content.
If you think about it carefully, it's all a bunch of nonsense.
What a heck Sichen, when did women get on the stage?
Except for a few female men, all women in this era have to stay at home to take care of their children.
How many Li Xiunings are there in the world?
Several Wu Mei Niangs and even Hua Mulan, who has been praised by the Chinese nation for thousands of years, finally went home and looked at the mirror with yellow decals.
"Why don't His Highness the King of Chu believe that?
In this case, the old Taoist will first agree to the conditions of His Highness the King of Chu and hand over all the land of our Taoist family to the state.
We and other Taoist people will all retreat into the mountains and forests.
When everything is fulfilled in a few years, we can talk again.
How about other "Yuan Shoucheng gave in again.
It's not that he didn't want to fight again, but now he can't produce evidence to prove it.
In the past few years, he has tightened his belt and gritted his teeth and persisted.

When everything is revealed, it will be the time for him to fight back. .
"Haha, why did I have to quit in the end?
If I had known this, why are you still arguing with me like this?
In fact, it's all about fists.
Although Taoism has countless followers in the Tang Dynasty, they are first and foremost the people of the Tang Dynasty.
The second is those who believe in your Taoism Believer."
Li Kuan stood up, turned around and left.
Since Taoism has decided to withdraw, his mission has been completed.
Although it has not affected the foundation of their faith like Buddhism, it is, after all, a local religion and local protectionism.
There is still a certain market.
"Fellow Daoist Yuan, you are confused!
The Taoists are hiding in the mountains and forests.
I am afraid it will be difficult to get out of the mountains.
Where will countless Taoists go in the future?"
Sun Simiao was also extremely anxious at this time.
He did not feel sorry for the land of the Taoists, but according to Yuan Shoucheng's words, the Taoists In a few years Unable to spread their teachings, if this continues, it will be difficult for the people to accept Taoist ideas.
After all, life is constantly improving, and they no longer need spiritual beliefs like Taoism.
Without continuous indoctrination, their firm beliefs will be undermined.
The years waver.
"This is just retreat in order to advance.
Now we will report what happened here and let everyone in the world know.
When that day comes, it will definitely be a fruitful harvest of faith.
For Taoists, it has been dormant for several years.
The prestige that the imperial court can no longer suppress , It's still very worthwhile."
Yuan Shoucheng chuckled, but he knew clearly that in a few years that thing would definitely happen.
The last time was when he was twelve years old, and this time it will be three years later.
