Chapter 333
The atmosphere of the family banquet is peaceful, and there is no discussion of important matters between the country and the court.
The few of them drank tea and chatted for a while, then the Queen and the Crown Princess left with Prince Qi and his heirs.
The three older children knew that this banquet was to show sincerity to their grandfather's old ministers and their father's new friends, but the five younger children still didn't know the meaning.
Before leaving, they made a fuss about why they had to go back to Wenhua Hall to study since guests were here.
The Crown Princess smiled and said, "They are guests of His Majesty and your father. When your guests come one day, you can have a banquet by yourself, so you don't have to be busy with your studies."
All the children were happy when they heard this, and they all said that they would make more friends and invite them to play so as to get rid of the heavy study.
At this time, they still didn't know that their childhood wish would be difficult to realize, and they would no longer be able to stay in the palace when they could host banquets on their own.
He is really ignorant and ignorant as a young child, and an ambitious young man is so calm. Everyone knows that the emperor is a powerful person, but he does not know that family property is not national property.
They were royal princes but not courtiers of the country. Only when they left the rear palace did they begin to discuss state affairs.
"General Zhou, I heard that you are valued by the Qingyuan Dao lineage, and you have been promoted to the head of the original branch.
This is not a gift from the country, but your own blessing. No matter how valuable the power of the head is, I will not usurp it with the emperor's order. "
“I am not saying this to appease you, but I mean it sincerely.
The four seas and eight wastelands are vast and boundless, and our great Wei Dynasty is different from other countries in that we never regard the private interests of the people as the property of the country.
Taizu once taught that if there is a national calamity, all Wei people have the responsibility to defend the land. If Wei people set up their own business outside the boundaries, their business is a matter of human ability and not a gift from the country. "
"For this reason, the Wei Dynasty must not be inferior to those in the secret realm. They regard you as a true disciple and treat you favorably.
I also regard you as a talented and upright minister of the country, and you will not be overbearing, greedy or coercive. "
The Emperor of the Wei Dynasty told the truth. He never criticized his subordinates harshly, and he would not arrogantly believe that all the secrets in the world were the wealth of the Wei Dynasty.
Otherwise, sooner or later those with outstanding talents will be driven away from their morals, and Wei Guoxian will also have a grudge and lose the fighting spirit to explore the secret realm outside the world.
Therefore, it is not a crime for Zhou Yuan to hide and not report, but it is a virtue to tell the truth, and it is a merit and virtue to cooperate and win-win to prosper the country.
"Your Majesty's generosity and kindness are indeed a blessing to the people of Wei Dynasty."
"This is common sense and not my benevolence. The king should distance himself from the likes and dislikes in his heart and act according to reason in everything.
Only when I can distinguish right from wrong can the country and the dynasty have laws and principles to follow. "
Since Emperor Wei regarded Zhou Yuan as the crown prince and an important minister, he was naturally willing to explain the laws of Wei to him.
So that he would know that the Wei Dynasty has a moderate internal governance and a powerful external defense, and is a country worth protecting.
Zhou Yuan had seen the three kingdoms of Chu, Liang, and Yu. In contrast, the Wei Dynasty did not have the divisions of Chu, the chaos of Liang, and the old state of Yu. It was mostly prosperous.
This is also the reason why he is willing to seek cooperation with the state of Wei. Instead of building and raising his own troubles, it is better to cooperate with each other to benefit each other.
As for the reason for rejecting the marriage, it is not complicated. His power has become respected among all the water tribes in the four countries, so he does not have to accept the arrangements of others.
If you really want to know your partner, you should go find and meet them by yourself. Only in this way can you respect each other and seek truth, never forget and never give up, just like the story of Tan Yue.
"General Zhou has returned to the capital with the blessing of Qingyuan Dao. He must have something to teach me.
He also asked the general to speak frankly about the value of the position of head. It may be possible to revive the Qingyuan Dao to help the fate of the Wei Dynasty. "
"With some help, I will be the leader and have the authority to supervise the courtyard, preach, and teach the Dharma.
Among them, the Supervisory Academy can appoint subordinates and clean up disciples, and the missionary can recruit Taoists to obtain the wonders of Qingling Taoist Heart, the benefits of Tao Yun manifesting the Dharma, and the convenience of returning to Taoism.
By passing on the Dharma, one can teach the disciples the two methods of Qingyuan and the four techniques. When their cultivation is complete, they can be promoted to the Qingyuan Temple of the Wonderful Way and practice alchemy. "
"This..., there is such an honorable position in the world, the general is really a man of good fortune and prosperity."
When Emperor Wei didn't know the power of the head, he thought about many possibilities, but he never thought that the position of the head would be so comprehensive.
In this way, Zhou Yuan is equivalent to inheriting the Qingyuan Dao lineage, and can spread the word to the world and prosper the Qingyuan Dao.
Compared to the shock of Emperor Wei and King Qi, Li Si was filled with bitterness.
Zhou Yuan got the position without actually preaching. He worked hard at Qingyuan Temple in Yanshan for many years and was not shown mercy. It is really a pity that he can't feel relieved.
"Today I realize the sorrow of the crazy people in the Madhouse. It's not that they are ridiculous, but it's actually that what they seek cannot be true and is false.
Taoist brothers can leave a few places for them to teach them that although the Tao is lost in the wasted years, the Qingyuan Tao does exist.
Thinking that the crazy thoughts in their hearts can be resolved in this way, they can relieve themselves of the gains and losses of seeking the Tao in this life. "
"Headmaster, please be at ease. Since they are members of the Qingyuan Sect, I will naturally make the crossing."
When Emperor Wei heard this, he patted Li Si on the shoulder and comforted him with the help of Chi Taoist.
“Everyone in the world is different, and they all have their own conditions.
Crazy Taoists work so hard that they cannot see the way. It is not because their intentions are not sincere, but because the way is unclear and they do not know when the door of the way will be found.
The same is true for Li Gong. It's not because of your lack of virtue, but because you don't understand the requirements of the Tao. That's why General Zhou succeeded to the throne. "
"Thank you for your Majesty's persuasion. I have achieved the true elixir by letting go of this matter. Although I am envious in my heart, I will not overthink or get entangled.
Besides, it was my Qingyuan Dao that fulfilled the position of head, not Jintan Qianyuan, Xiaguang Jingle and other Dao lines. How could I be so dissatisfied anymore? "
Everything will change once it is compared. Li Si recalled the other Taoist teachings of the Sanshan Dharma Assembly and felt relieved both physically and mentally.
Under his leadership, the Qingyuan Dao finally surpassed other Dao lines. In a few years, it may be able to hold the honorable name of the First Dao and obtain the orthodoxy of the Taoist sect.
It’s just that I don’t know how much permission the head of the branch has, so he can’t really spread the law arbitrarily.
"Brother Dao, I wonder how many disciples the Gaiyuan branch can teach?"
"One hundred is the maximum number, but the limit can be broken. Those with good comprehension and learning can be promoted to Qingyuan Temple, and those who have difficulty in learning Taoism can be dismissed midway.
Such a limit of one hundred people can also achieve a considerable momentum."
"This method is feasible. Only with retreat and advancement can it be continuous, but what changes will occur when dismissing disciples is also a question.
If the Taoism is not abandoned, perhaps the power of dismissal can be used to quickly spread the law."
"I don't know either. I think there will be a lot of changes, otherwise the power of dismissal will be meaningless."
Li Si raised a good question. What will happen if you first accept the Taoist sect to teach the law and then dismiss it.
The thing that the palace is not short of is all kinds of people. A clan official who is responsible for taking care of national history documents was quickly led into the palace by the eunuchs.
"General Zhou, please feel free to give it a try. This is because my brother is a cautious and loyal person who is very trustworthy. In addition, he likes grammar and has not practiced spiritual martial arts, so he should be able to enter the Tao smoothly."
After the Emperor of Wei called the old man to sit down, he first explained to him the matter of entering the Tao and clearing away. The old man was very happy and said that it would not matter if he was injured after a try.
Seeing this, Zhou Yuan used the right to preach to accept him as a disciple of the branch, and then gave him the right to preach the law.
"Master of the Order, how do you feel?"
"General, there are strange arts in my heart called Qingling, Daoyun, Xuanmen, and another law called Qingyuan Heart Sutra."
"Okay, I will clear away and you can see the effect."
As Zhou Yuan cleared away the Master of the Order, he immediately sensed the new changes.
"General, the Qingyuan Heart Sutra is also in my heart, and the three arts of Qingling, Daoyun, and Xuanmen are no longer traceable."
