The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 192
There are actually quite a few capable people under Lu Heng's command, such as the old man Wang Lang, Yu Fan, Kan Ze, Xu Jing, etc. who are proficient in Yi, but they are not in Moling, but there is one person who understands Fengshui and Yijing, Still in Moling that is Zhang Hong.

Zhang Hong in history persuaded Sun Quan to move his capital to Moling and change his name to Jianye because Moling had dragon veins and he had the spirit of the emperor.

Since then, Jianye has become the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. The Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen capitals of the Eastern Jin and Southern Dynasties were all established here, and even the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Republic of China were all established in Jianye.

Yu Ji also saw Er Zhang and others. Yu Ji carefully looked at their faces one by one, and found that almost everyone's fortune had been changed.

During this time, Lu Heng frequently toasted to Yu Ji. Originally, Lu Heng thought that Yu Ji, an old-fashioned master, was an outsider and would not be greedy when drinking. However, he knew that this old-fashioned man would not refuse one drink after another, and he could drink very well without getting drunk.

Lao Niu Zui likes such a person, Lao Niu doesn't care if Yu Ji is a fairy or not, anyone who can drink, and can drink in a big bowl must drink with Lao Niu.

As for Lu Heng summoning Yu Yunwen and other counselors, he was here to meet Yu Ji, or to put forward the headache of how to govern religion.

In the history of the Celestial Dynasty, religions have interfered in politics and crossed the red line. There are not a few people who even use religion to rebel, such as the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the White Lotus Sect, and the Ming Sect.

Although it is a little early to discuss this, Yu Ji's reputation has indeed affected Jiangdong. Another point is that Lu Heng does not know the views of the civil servants on religion.

Lu Heng knew that many civil servants had a lot of relationship with Taoism. For example, Zhao Ding studied under Zuo Ci, and there were countless believers.

Lu Heng thought for a while, picked up the wine glass and offered a glass of wine to Ji and said: "I heard that the people often call Mr. Immortal, and Mr. is one of the representatives of the Southern School. Have you ever thought about establishing a school like Zhang Daoling? "

"Boy, I can hear that Zhang Daoling established the Five Dou Rice Religion in Xishu, and now it has been passed down to Zhang Lu's third generation."

Yu Ji was shocked when he heard Lu Heng mentioning Zhang Lu, the third generation successor of Wu Dou Mi!

He said again and again: "No, no, Gongqi (Zhang Lu's word Gongqi)'s five buckets of rice entered the house too deeply, and he even regarded himself as a warlord. The way of disaster!"

"We who learn the Tao, because we should follow the destiny, everything has a spirit, everything has a reason, cultivate the body, cultivate the mind, and govern by doing nothing, just like Gongqi who is too deeply involved with the world, how to cultivate the mind? How to cultivate the body?"

When Lu Heng heard that Yu Ji's point of view was still governance by doing nothing, self-cultivation and mind-cultivation, he knew that this old Taoist was a typical Huang-Lao school, but it did not deviate from the scope of orthodox Taoist thought.

Lu Heng then asked Xiang Jidao: "Now that Buddhism is spreading in Xuzhou and other places, what do you think of Buddhism?"

But Yu Ji said with contempt on his face: "Pindao also traveled to Xuzhou. Those Buddhists asked to get rid of their troubles immediately, and focused on pursuing personal self-liberation. Destroy the body and wisdom for the ultimate."

"Using the words of Buddhists and Taoists, it means only denying the reality of the human self, but not the reality of the dharma self."

Seeing that Lu Heng was a little confused, Yu Ji explained: "Actually, they think that people have troubles because they have ego, and they are attached to the concept or experience of me, thinking that it is unbreakable, and the real existence is the ego."

"To put it bluntly, people have afflictions because everyone has their own desires, but they propagate their dharma selves and think that everything in the world is real."

"For example, gold and silver are real and exist objectively. If you desire to get gold and silver, this is the result of greed. To get rid of this greed is their basic theory."

"But human nature itself has all kinds of desires, which is why we call it human. The desire to survive when one's life is threatened, the desire to eat when hungry is appetite, the desire to sleep when sleepy is the desire to take a wife and carry on the family line is inheritance. The desire for incense and Taoist people’s desire to become immortals is the desire to seek the Tao, which is impossible to eradicate!”

Through conversations with Lu Heng, he knew that Yu Ji was still a defender of local sects, but Lu Heng, a later generation, knew the horrors of religion, but he didn't believe in religion. Lu Heng felt that Buddhism was unreliable.

Finally, Lu Heng asked the most critical question: "What does Yu Ji think of the Yellow Turban Army?"

Yu Ji generally meant that the formation of the Yellow Turban Army was multifaceted. Zhang Jiao used Taoism to buy people's hearts.

If everyone lives and works in peace and contentment and lives a prosperous life, of course they will not respond to Zhang Jiao.

Zhang Jiao took advantage of the people and gave birth to the Yellow Turban Army. The Taiping Jing and the Northern Taoist Sect were only used by Zhang Jiao's ambition. Even without the Taiping Jing, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang said, "Princes, generals, prime ministers, Ning has the kind" Almost' also set off a monstrous wave.

Therefore, to put an end to things like the Yellow Turban Army, we need to fundamentally manage the system and allow the people to live and work in peace. If Emperor Ling only arrests the Northern Taoists without making any changes in the system, the people will not be able to survive. Then there will be a second The second Yellow Turban Army and the third Yellow Turban Army.

Yu Jizhi's words actually revealed the essence. The power of religion lies in belief, or the red line. If this force does not participate in politics, it is not a big threat, but this combination of this force and politics is terrible no matter what kind of combination.

Fortunately, because of the strong appearance of the first emperor, there has never been a situation where religion is greater than imperial power in the Celestial Dynasty. Even if the emperor believes in religion again, he will be fooled into participating in it. Although he is fooled, the essential power is still in the hands of the imperial power.

Even so, there will be many deformed religions in the future. Heresy, tax evasion by using religion, and many people who wantonly annex land under the cloak of Buddhism.

Lu Heng thought for a while and said to Ji: "Sir, if you do, I support you to establish a sect in Jiangdong, but there are some conditions, are you willing?"

When Yu Ji heard that he was allowed to establish a sect in Jiangdong, such a great thing happened to him?But after all, Fang Wai was the one who got it, so he could calm down and confirm the conditions with Lu Heng.

Lu Heng smiled and said: "The boy supports the establishment of a sect, and asks the husband to cooperate in governing the religion. As for the details, the husband and the military adviser will discuss together."

"Under Jiangdong's rule, people like Xuzhou who wantonly use the people to build temples, honor the Buddha's golden body, and even embezzle tax revenues to publicize Buddhism are not allowed."

"People and officials can believe in religion, but it must be separated from daily government affairs. This must be written into the teacher's canon. This is the boy's condition."
