    no, 228 The sad Li Shimin

    Since ancient times, emperors have always insisted on a divine right to rule and claimed to be the emperor.  Li Shimin is no exception.  The solar eclipse is not a good thing for him, but if Li Shimin can take this opportunity to perform a "miracle" after the solar eclipse, it will be a turning point from bad things to good things.

    What is a plow?  farm tools!  Moreover, they are the agricultural tools that farmers need most. In an agricultural country like Datang, the status of agricultural tools is extremely important, both externally and psychologically.  After the solar eclipse, as soon as new agricultural tools that can increase productivity appear, how can we not make farmers all over the world ecstatic?  The people are the easiest to fool. As long as you give them what they need, no matter how little, you can make them grateful.  What farmers value most is their farm tools and fields.  Now that you have farm equipment and fields, are you afraid that you won’t be able to wear warm clothes or have enough to eat?

    Huang Junming understands Li Shimin's approach quite well, and also knows that these new farm tools and new farming methods will not be installed on Taoists.  It is certain that these people's calculations are based on Li Shimin. Regarding this, Huang Junming has no complaints. He has long decided to rely on the country to strengthen education. How can people rely on him if the country is not prosperous?

    Now the reputation of Taoism has been rising after the social welfare incident. A few days ago, the temple owners from various places have already completed their assessment. In two or three days, this new ultimatum will be issued to them.  When the temple owners from various places return to their original temples, it will be necessary for the reputation of Taoism to be further improved.

    In addition to Taoism, what is left of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty.  Basically, there is no threat to Taoism anymore. Not to mention the ban on Buddhism issued last time, let’s just say that Buddhism is closed in and misses the way Taoism cares for the people at the bottom of society.  This has further reduced the power of Buddhism.  There is no need for Huang Junming to suppress him. If he waits for a while, Buddhism will never be able to raise its head again.

    You must know that the rise of Buddhism in the early Tang Dynasty was due to the influence of Xuanzang's return from his journey to the west, and now.  The Buddhist Xuanzang has become the Taoist Golden Chanzi. From now on, the Buddhist Journey to the West has also become the Taoist Journey to the West. This is the reason for the rise of Buddhism again.

    But then again.  The original Buddhism in Tianzhu has long been destroyed, and the Buddhism spread throughout the Western Regions is now incomplete.  Even if Buddhism is allowed to organize another journey to the West, it will only spread the Buddhist teachings of the Tang Dynasty.  This is also true of Xuanzang in history.  But now Buddhism, based on the gossip Huang Junming got, is working hard to change its teachings.  Trying to get rid of the mistakes that Huang Junming and Taoists caught is closer to reality.  But in this way, it is inevitable to absorb the essence of Taoism. I believe that after people study Buddhism, they will find that their own teachings are inseparable from Taoism.  At that time, if we don’t change, we will inevitably end up in destruction. After we change, can we still call it Buddhism?  It is nothing more than a vassal of Taoism.

    Looking at other religions, Muhammad is still wielding his scimitar to expand the territory, and Christians wearing crosses can't find their way in the darkness after the demise of the Western Roman Empire.  Or pick up a cross-lance and fend off the scimitars of Persians and Mohammed.  This cannot be accomplished in less than a hundred years, so Huang Junming can completely ignore these two major religions that will develop into world-wide religions in the future.

    Therefore, Huang Junming does not have the slightest sense of crisis now. At this time, the best way is to figure it out slowly.  If it is done overnight, some major accident will inevitably occur. Even if it is troublesome to deal with it, it will cause pain to Taoism.  Everything always needs a transition, like flowing water, no matter how it flows.  As long as the waterway is not blocked, it will eventually flow to the ocean.  So Huang Junming no longer cares about this method of using farm tools to win people over.  As the saying goes, contentment always brings happiness, let Li Shimin enjoy the pleasure of being admired by all people.  He had just become emperor, and if he didn't have anyone to take advantage of, it might be a bit difficult.  (1)

    "Your Majesty, it's getting late now, why not stay in Pindao's Tianxian Palace and have a casual bite?" Huang Junming looked at the sky and said to Li Shimin.  According to Huang Junming's opinion, this is nothing more than a polite word or two.  It can’t be true either.

    "Okay, I heard Cheng Qian say that the food in your Immortal Palace here is quite good, light and not greasy, refreshing and satisfying." Li Shimin didn't seem to catch that Huang Junming just said it casually, with a very natural interface  Turn Huang Junming's polite invitation into reality.

    After drinking and eating, Li Shimin sat on the rocking chair set up by Huang Junming, sipping tea, feeling at ease.  Huang Junming sat idle, staring blankly at the setting sun in the distance.  I don't know whether he was lamenting Li Shimin's shamelessness or expressing regret for what he had done.

    "Master Immortal, my sister is at the Jade Girl Temple at the foot of the mountain, right?" For some reason, Li Shimin had put down the tea bowl in his hand and said to Huang Junming in a low voice.Hearing Li Shimin mention Princess Qianjin, Huang Junming felt a headache. These days, Huang Junming had long known that Princess Qianjin admired him.  But in Huang Junming's view, an innocent and humane girl under the age of eighteen is really difficult to communicate with.  Perhaps it was the ancient times that could train such a woman to fall in love with someone after just a few meetings.  If this were placed in modern times, girls under free love are all very shrewd. If you wait for a girl to fall in love with you, it will take some effort.  At this point, Huang Junming is not sure whether this is the tragedy of this social system.  But since Li Shimin asked about himself, he still had to answer: "The princess should be at the Jade Girl Temple at the foot of the mountain. Pindao has not been down the mountain for many days."

    "Oh." Li Shimin responded lightly.  Then he said sadly: "Master Immortal, my sister is too willful. She has become a monk now. Since what happened last year, although my father has been free, he has also become depressed. Most of my brothers are away from home.  As a vassal king, Yuan Heng was closer to the palace, but he rarely returned to the palace. After all, except for a few younger brothers and sisters, there was no one around his father to talk to, and the daughter was like this. She became a monk.  I became a Taoist priest. I didn’t even go back to see him during the Chinese New Year. Hey, Master Immortal, I hope you can give me some advice when you have time, so that my daughter can return to the palace and spend more time with my father."

    That’s all these two thousand words for today!  Southwest was crushed. Half a meter away from Southwest, a person who was just nodding in friendship was talking, which made Southwest not in the mood to write.  I only wrote two thousand words in this hour and a half.  Worrying people.  I'm too embarrassed to ask him out.  Why.  .  To be continued.  .
