sweeping the world

Chapter 425 Maybe It's a Shaman's Chance
Liu Yan didn't like to enjoy it...or when he felt that he didn't enjoy it, the place to receive envoys from various countries was not magnificent. In fact, he received envoys from various countries in the military tent outside the city.

"Some behaviors of the Han state make one wonder if they are descendants of Yanhuang descendants." Sun Chuo hurried into the city, but was informed that the meeting place was in the military camp outside the city. Under the influence of Wen Qing's disease, he had to complain: " It’s fine if you don’t pay attention to etiquette, it looks like a barbarian.”

Therefore, Yong, the king of Zhao Wuling, whose surname was Ying, learned from the Hu people, and had the reform of "Hu clothing, riding and shooting". The military reform was carried out in the next generation.Even so, Zhao Yong, who learned from Hu people, was looked at by other countries.Later Zhao Yong was put under house arrest by his heirs and starved to death. Some people in various countries not only did not have sympathy, but they had a mentality of watching jokes and feeling retribution.

Zhao Yong learned the Hu people's horsemanship and shooting skills, which made Zhao country one of the three overlords during the Warring States Period. The Zhao people who benefited from it felt weird, and the other countries who saw the joke thought it was funny. Does this prove that there were already Huayi people at that time? Distinguish?
Chinese civilization has a sense of superiority, which is based on the pride brought about by the status of the strong for a long time, especially after the Hundred Years War between the Western Han Dynasty and the Huns, the pride of Chinese civilization reached its peak.It is that kind of pride that made even the melee among the feudal lords in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, regardless of whether it was Gongsun Zan, Sun Ce, and Liu Zhang in the early days of the melee among the feudal lords, or the three families in the Shu Han, Cao Wei, and Sun Wu periods. Give me a good beating.

The small imperial courts of the Eastern Jin Dynasty should be the least qualified to despise who has the style of the barbarians. It is their "predecessors" who armed the barbarians wantonly and led to the fall of the Central Plains. Later, they were suppressed by the barbarians in the south for a long time. The advantage gave most people a kind of inertia, that is, they can still despise the barbarians even though they have been taught by the barbarians.

Sun Chuo was right in some respects. It was difficult for Liu Yan, who was not from aristocratic background, to talk about etiquette because Liu Yan really didn't understand.It doesn’t matter if Liu Yan doesn’t understand, there are few etiquette masters in the Han Dynasty, no one pays attention to and builds etiquette, and there will be no historical background in what you do. It is hard to describe that the Han Kingdom is now in the stage of nouveau riche, and has not yet passed the precipitation and etiquette of time The baptism of the Han Dynasty caused the Han Dynasty, which attached great importance to military affairs, to be a bit of a barbarian.

"Aren't those people from the southern court?" Tuoba Gu's impression of Sun Chuo originated from the first meeting with Mount Tai.Poetry culture is not popular in Dai State. He doesn't understand some great poets, great calligraphers, and metaphysicians in the south at all. Stone loose?"

Yes, countries including Daiguo have the biggest impression of those people in the south that they like to take drugs.That’s because the aristocratic families in the south are generally like this, and some people who like to take drugs are very famous, such as those in the "Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove" and the two people in "Wearing the Chicken and Dancing". ).

I feel that Sun Chuo likes to chatter not only the people of Tuoba Daiguo, but the people who slowly gathered in front of the military tent can tell that Sun Chuo likes to talk, especially when Sun Chuo is chattering. Put your hands behind your waist and make a great poet.

The small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had just experienced a major defeat. The entire army in the Three Commanderies was wiped out and the state leader was captured. Nanyang County was easily captured by the Han army, and the navy also suffered heavy losses.The previous countries no longer feared the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and they no longer recognized the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty as a Zhengshuo (leader). Because of the changes in national power, it is definitely a common trait in the world to look down on weak countries.

Among the crowd, only people from Zhang's Liangguo would choose to get close to the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and others. Zhang Zuo even went to greet Sun Chuo as if he had caught an idol.

Sun Chuo, who was originally nagging, looked aggrieved. He felt better after being flattered by Zhang Zuo for a while. He communicated with Zhang Zuo with a reserved and arrogant attitude. Some gossip about poetry and calligraphy, but the exchange of state affairs was not mentioned at all.

Sun Chuo's reserve and arrogance stem from the fact that Zhang's Liang Kingdom is the only country that still claims vassalage to the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. In addition, Zhang's Liang Kingdom does not regard itself as a country when communicating with the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The vassal status of the state governor.

Precisely because Zhang's Liangguo is now the "only part" of the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Sun Chuo also has a kind of "caring" for Zhang Zuo besides being reserved and arrogant.In this way, if Zhang Zuo had anything to say, Sun Chuo must answer every question, and the two communicated quite enthusiastically.

This is the reality, and he did not admit that it was Shi Hu who started the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Later, Murong Hao also first asked for the title of King Yan and the Great General, and then threw the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty aside.Small border countries such as Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, which were originally vassals of the small courts of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, after the Han army rampaged on the Korean peninsula, under the current situation that the reality is stronger than others, the Han country has become the leader of those countries on the Korean peninsula. Suzerainty.

The people who stayed in front of the military tent were basically divided into groups. The Liang Kingdom of the Zhang family and the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty got together, the Zhao Kingdom of Shijie and the Kingdom of Murong Yan gathered together, and the Tuoba Dai Kingdom and Goguryeo had good exchanges. There were people from Baekje and Silla next to him, but the Chenghan Lee family looked lonely.

Tuoba Daiguo and Goguryeo currently have common interests, and both countries are victims of Murong Yanguo's dominance.Baekje and Silla want to get together because Princess Tuobaxiu is one of the favorite concubines of the King of Han, but they are ignored now. I don’t know if Baekje and Silla have made Tuoba Daiguo high Great opportunity?
Li Chenghan's lonely experience is completely self-inflicted.Their previous relationship with Shijie Zhao State should be said to be very good. Since Li Shou passed away and Li Shi came to power, Cheng Han not only had domestic political turmoil, but also made changes to the outside world day and night. Endlessly, he continued to provoke Shijie Zhao Guo, and at the same time inexplicably played tricks on Han Guo in the national agreement.

In terms of who has the best death skills, there is no one who belongs to the Li family and Chenghan.According to historical development, Li's Cheng Han will soon walk into the grave, but the gravedigger Huan Wen jumped to Han, Shijie Zhao Guo and Han had no time to deal with Li's Cheng Han, and the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had a brain twitch to provoke Han The empress was severely injured.It is estimated that Li's Chenghan can continue to build a few more palaces, and the official wives of the courtiers can sleep a few more, so the conference can continue without cover.

A group of people were chatting or communicating, and Wang Meng opened the curtain and walked out.

Wang Meng's appearance turned everyone's attention, and he really wanted to invite them into the tent.

In the big tent, Liu Yan was already sitting on the main seat, and many civil and military personnel of the Han Kingdom were arranged behind him.The front of him is divided into left and right sides. Tables and futons are arranged in a row, and there is a certain distance between them.

When the envoys from various countries entered, they saw that Liu Yan was already there, and none of them were in a daze.Generally speaking, it has become a convention that the most important person appears last. Everyone thought that they would stay in the tent for a while before Liu Yan appeared. No one expected that Liu Yan would be waiting there from the beginning.

Wang Meng seems to be a role of entertainer. He leads the envoys from various countries to his place, invites people to bring fruits, water wine or tea, and some cakes and other things will also be served.

When arranging the seats, Shijie Zhao Guo, Murong Yan Guo, and Li Shicheng Han were moved to one side, and Tuoba Dai Guo, Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Zhang Shi Liang Guo were placed on the other side, all of which were relatively close to where Liu Yan was. , such as Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla were arranged in a small corner behind the Han people.

As a vassal state, it is not qualified to speak out independently in any diplomatic occasions. It is tantamount to the decision of the Han Dynasty. Even if Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla have any objections, they can only communicate with the suzerain privately. On formal occasions, they can only use their ears.

Sun Chuo felt displeased when he saw that the vassal state that originally belonged to the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was arranged like that. Even Zhang Zuo, who was not far away, looked over frequently with flattering eyes, and didn't have the time to respond.

Liu Yan, who was sitting in the main seat, was scanning his eyes. What attracted his attention was a bald and shiny head. The owner of the head was Buddha Tucheng, a monk from Kucha.

At present, Shijie Zhao State, Murong Yan State, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty's small court are all warring parties of the Han State. They all came with a certain attitude of weakness, but except for Fotucheng, they all had a sullen face, but they didn't know Is it annoyed after being left out for a long time, or put on a face of "we hate you".

Fotucheng's eyes have been lingering on Liu Yan since he made the money.In his eyes, Liu Yan wore a mian suit with a heroic aura soaring to the sky. According to the monk, the killing aura was revealed on the surface, and he definitely did not look like a gentle person.He has enough research on violent people, after all, Shi Hu is a fierce and cruel person.He successfully fooled Shihu into living, so that the spread of Samana in Shijie Zhao State was officially supported. He was thinking about how to conquer Liu Yan, who was serious about killing and killing, so that the belief of Samana could also spread in Han territory.

"I heard that the eminent monk is 110 years old this year?" Liu Yan looked at Fotucheng, who had no ring scars, and observed the appearance of a face with Central Asian characteristics. Tough!"

Fotucheng's original surname was Bo, and based on his surname, he should be from Kucha, born in the sixth year of Wei Ming Emperor Cao Ruitaihe (AD 232).He became a monk in Wuchang country at the age of nine, and went to Gubin (Jiabishi country in northern Tianzhu, today's Kashmir area) to study law twice.People in the Western Regions all said that he had attained the Tao.Emperor Huai of Jin Dynasty went to Luoyang in the fourth year of Yongjia (310 AD), and he was 79 years old.During the Yongjia Rebellion, he first lived in seclusion in Caoye, and then went to Shi Le, where he won the favor of Shi Le and his nephew Shi Hu.

"The young monk is indeed 110 years old..." Fotucheng smiled kindly, nodded and continued: "It's not some Eastern Tu's calculation that one year is one year old in a Jiazi cycle. That way the young monk seems to be over 680 years old."

Liu Yan's unconventional playing of cards made the envoys of various countries uncomfortable. When they saw Liu Yan, they didn't talk about anything and went to Fotucheng first. They were caught off guard and could only listen quietly.

Now there is Taoism in the Central Plains, and the main god worshiped is Lao Tzu. Zhang Daoling and Zhang Lu also have a place in the god system because they are the founders.According to the saying, Taoism originated from the Huang-Lao theory combined with the Yin-Yang theory, and developed from the Wudou rice religion. The problem is that Taoism is still in its infancy. For example, the "Sanqing" does not exist now, and it will be added later. "Going in, there are many and complicated Taoist gods at this stage.

The real development of Taoism was in the Liang Dynasty of the Southern Dynasties, when the famous Taoist theorist Tao Hongjing's "True Spirit Position and Industry Map" began to appear as the first relatively systematic Taoist theogony.Tao Hongjing also divided the gods into levels. Under the seven levels, the emperors, generals, or sages and sages in history, such as Confucius, Yan Hui, and Zhuangzi in the third level, Qin Shihuang, Han Gaozu, Duke Huan of Qi, and Jin Dynasty in the seventh level. Duke Wen, Emperor Wu of Wei, Liu Bei, Li Guang, Han Sui, Sun Ce, Xu Shu, etc... are all summarized and divided into levels.

Liu Yan looked at the old but tough Fotucheng, and wondered how he could look healthy at an old age, but he didn't think about immortality at all.

But Fotucheng knew one thing. What the rulers of the Eastern Territory loved most was immortality. There was the First Emperor before him, and there were countless emperors after him. Basically, every one of them was pursuing immortality.He had an idea in a short period of time. He felt that if he wanted to make Liu Yan fall in love with Samana, the method of immortality might be the breakthrough.

Then there was a strange scene. Fotucheng began to talk about health preservation, and Liu Yan seemed to be listening with gusto.

"Fortunately, it's health preservation rather than longevity, or the king should scoff at it?" Sang Yu laughed softly, and after laughing enough, he said to Ji Chang, "Aren't you going to say anything in Tai'an?"

Ji Chang is Prime Minister Zuo, and he has the responsibility to remind the king when he goes astray.He glanced at Sang Yu expressionlessly, finally twitched the corner of his mouth, and said, "The king has his own strategy, but we can't guess it for the time being, so what are you talking about?"

In fact, what Sang Yu and Ji Chang said can be heard by Liu Yan who is not far away, so that Liu Yan, while dealing with Fo Tucheng, can control the volume when picking up the plane and say to the two: "Our rammed-earth Taoism Definitely have to learn from those imported beliefs, fickleness and adaptation are even more important to learn, that is, the gods should be redefined, because there are too many main gods in Taoism."

The Han Dynasty has the Hall of Heroes, which hosts sacrifices and takes care of the Taoist system. However, the development of Taoism is limited to this. It is precisely in this way that the monks saw the opportunity. If Liu Yan allowed Taoism to be fully spread from the beginning, the monks would definitely do the same. Come, but it won't be the old Fotucheng who charged forward in person.

Seriously speaking, the current dissemination of Samana is much wider than that of Taoism. Every country of the Hu people has Samana spreading their beliefs. There are also countless monks active in the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. However, the development of local Taoism is full. worrying...
