Chapter 196

Taoism in the Tang Dynasty is a national religion.

Throughout the history of the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the Wu Zetian period and the Xianzong Dynasty, the Tang Empire has respected Taoism since the founding of the Gaozu.

As early as the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan, the emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, worshipped Lao Tzu Li Er as his ancestor, overhauled Lao Tzu Temple everywhere, and personally worshipped Lao Tzu many times.

Li Er also issued an imperial edict many times, saying that "the trip to the avenue began in the ancient times" and "since now, Zhai has been established for practice, and as for the title, the Taoist female crown can be before the monks and nuns". He did not hesitate to improve the status of Taoism in the form of government edicts.

Among the people of the Tang Dynasty, Taoism also has a great influence, far better than Buddhism.

So Wu Chengen wrote a journey to the West and said that monk Tang was Li Er's Royal brother. That's bullshit. In the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism's social status and influence are far inferior to Taoism.

If you can really invite a Taoist to prove that the saying of heaven's punishment is nonsense, it is unnecessary for heaven to blame Li Er, and there is no need to mention it.

At that time, even if they don't want to, they can only recognize it by pinching their nose. At least they don't want to tear their face and really turn against Li Er, the son of heaven of the Tang Dynasty.

After Ma Zhou threw out this idea, Li Er and Chang sun Wuji, who had been trapped in the political struggle of the court, couldn't help looking at each other, and their eyes showed excitement.

"Ziyou, who are you talking about?" asked eldest sun Wuji curiously, who can resolve this matter.

Li forgot to worry and smiled: "the old immortal Sun Simiao, does the Duke of Qi know?"

After the Xuanwumen incident, Chang sun Wuji was appointed as the first meritorious official by Li Er. He became the Duke of Qi, served as the Minister of the Ministry of officials, and opened the government with three departments.

I heard that Sun Simiao was recommended by Ma Zhou, and Li Er and others applauded.

Sun Simiao, an old Taoist, is 80 years old. He is not only excellent in medicine, but also has a very prominent reputation in Taoism.

Li Er once wanted to confer the title of Laodao, but he was rejected by Laodao, who was bent on seeking the rise of Taoism, which made Li Er regret.

In Li Er's opinion, the old Taoist Sun Simiao is an immortal like Xianmen and guangchengzi. If he can really invite Sun Simiao to correct his name, he will be defeated that day.

"Ziyou, can you please move old immortal sun?" Li Er asked.

Like Sun Simiao, Li Er, an old Taoist with a respected position in Taoism, is not confident that he can really ask him to correct his name.

Li forgets to worry, Hei hei and Yile: "uncle, old immortal sun is building a Taoist temple on the hillside of my house behind the village. Please put it on my nephew. My nephew will send someone into the mountain to find old immortal sun early tomorrow morning."

"Ziyou, are you sure you can persuade old immortal sun to help?" Li Er was a little worried.

Li forgot to worry, pointed to Niu Yong standing in the front yard and said with a smile, "uncle, have you seen my episode? He has saved the life of old immortal sun. The old immortal will always give him this face."

He suddenly thought of the scene when he saw the monk cheating on the cross street of Huxian county. He couldn't help puffing and laughing, lowered his voice and carefully said a few words to the people.

After hearing his words, Chang sun Wuji and others couldn't help showing their teeth and looked strange. Li Er also couldn't laugh or cry. He didn't know how to comment.

On the contrary, Cheng Yaojin's old bus palm fell on Li forgetful's shoulder: "Wow, ha ha, boy, you're doing a good business. I think you can. Your majesty, you can leave it to this boy to do it. It's not wrong!"

Li forgot to worry and finally sealed the founding County man. However, in front of the founding Duke, the old hooligan, he still had no temper at all. He was patted with numbness on his shoulder and a smile on his face.

No mention of Lee's worry, how did he make up his mind to make a bite of gold? Li two was half silent, quietly making a slight announcement, and agreed to make complaints about Li's worries.

As soon as the scourge of locusts was broken, it was left to Li forgetful to operate. If there was any need, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, changsun Wuji and others would cooperate.

With the countermeasures, Li Er and his eldest son Wuji all spoke out. Over the past few days, their irritability has faded.

In addition, there are good wine and delicious food to help the fun today. Li Er simply threw the matter behind him and turned to look at Ma Zhou.

"Ziyou, your disciple has a clever mind. He can solve the problems that have plagued us for several days."

Seeing that Li Er was interested in Ma Zhou, Li forgot to worry and quickly introduced Ma Zhou.

Learning that he was an orphan, his family was poor but eager to learn. He had also served as a teaching assistant in Bozhou. Li Er appreciated Ma Zhou somewhat.

"Ma Zhou, let me test you. What have you learned from Ziyou?" Li Er said with a smile.

Ma Zhou was a little frightened and bowed: "it's not long for me to follow the teacher, and the teacher's full of knowledge has not been learned yet."

Li Er smiled and said, "ha ha, you are modest and hold your little teacher high."

Ma Zhou said, "what I have said is from the bottom of my heart. My teacher's talent is amazing and incomparable. I am very glad to be under the teacher's door."

"Ziyou, where did you deceive me? I admire you."

"Uncle, how can it be called deception?" Li forgot to worry and smiled. Although he fooled Ma Zhou to come to settle Zhou Village at the beginning, he definitely didn't fool Ma Zhou to be his disciple.

Li Er glared at him: "what? Am I wrong? Who will worship you as a teacher after this horse week? Nonsense."

Although Li Er knew that Li forget worry was talented, he always felt that he was still a teenager and it was absurd to accept disciples.

He also spoke in a joking tone. When he wanted to come, except Ma Zhou, no one would worship Li forgetful worry as a teacher again.

Li Qieyou was embarrassed and replied shyly, "uncle, I already have a second disciple."

His words stunned everyone in the hall. Did Li forget you and other disciples? It can't be any urchin in Dingzhou village, can it?

"Ziyou, who worships you as a teacher again? Tell me." Li erxiao asked.

"Hey, uncle, I'm going to be the little supervisor, Yan Liben, Yan Shaojian." Li forgot to worry and said with a smile.

what? Are you kidding us?

Li Er, his eldest son Wuji, Fang Xuanling and even Cheng Yaojin all showed a black question mark face, shocked and puzzled.

"Boy, you're not talking nonsense, are you? Major Yan is an official of the fourth grade in this dynasty. He also worships you as a teacher?" Cheng Yaojin was the first to disbelieve.

Before Li forgot his worries, Ma Zhou replied respectfully, "Duke Lu, what the teacher said is true. There is no doubt that brother Li and I worship the teacher on the same day."

"Hiss..." the crowd took a breath when they heard the speech.

Ma Zhou's white body worship of the teacher is even better. Yan Liben is a four grade official. What does he want to worship Li forgetful as a teacher?

"What did master Yan learn from you?" Cheng Yaojin asked.

"Hey, hey, learn to paint." Li forgot to worry and replied honestly.

The answer stunned Li Er and others, and then shook their heads. No one believed what Li forgot to worry about.

If Yan Liben followed Li forgetful to learn poetry, songs and Fu, they could barely accept it. After all, Li is qualified to write those poems and the humble room inscription just now.

But Yan Liben is famous for his painting skills in the court. Li Er even invited him to paint many times. How big a face do you think Li forgets to worry about such a figure? Dare you say you teach Yan Liben painting skills?

Li forgot to worry. Seeing that the people didn't believe it, he said something again, but almost didn't skew Li Er's nose.
