Chapter 128 The mansion of the saint

The three religions are Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

In "The Way of Heaven", Nanhua Daojun said: "Waitable, quiet, and lonely, and inaction are the foundation of all things. Understand this is Nanxiang, Yao is the king; Understand this is the north, Shun is the minister. In this place, the virtue of the emperor and the emperor; under this place, the way of the Xuansheng King Su." The general meaning of this sentence is that governing without action is a highest state. Treating heaven with this is the "emperor and emperor" and treating the people with this is the "Xuansheng King Su".

The so-called Xuansheng King Su is the one who values ​​himself, that is, Laojun and Nifu. In other words, Xuansheng is the Supreme Taoist ancestor of "Laojun", and King Su is the most sage and sage teacher of "Nifu". In addition, Buddha, known as King Kong, happens to be the ancestor of the Three religions.

Later generations extended it to call it the recognized leader of the Three Religions.

However, in recent hundreds of years, except for the Confucian scholars who can be respected as King Su, the Xuansheng of Taoism and the Kongwang of Buddhism are both hanging in the air.

As for Yan Shenggong, he was also respected as "King Su" because of his bloodline. It means that the throne has been passed down from generation to generation, but it is not recognized by the world. There are many controversies within the Confucian sect, believing that Yan Shenggong of all dynasties is not worthy of the title of "King Su", and only a few saints can be respected as "King Su". Therefore, many times, people in the world more compare Yan Shenggong of the Confucian sect as the great master of the Taoist sect.

This arises a question.

Li Xuandu asked: "Who do you mean by this Su King of the Origin? Is it Yan Shenggong or the saint of the Heart Scholar?"

Li Ruxiu hesitated and said, "Reporting to the sect leader, his subordinates are not very sure. Because the subordinates learned about this incident by chance. The old sect leader sent his subordinates to sneak into the sage mansion, replaced the identity of a sage mansion and gave birth to a son, and was arranged to be a maid next to the old lady. After those Confucians came to the sage mansion, they also paid special visits to the Grandma, and I learned about this."

There are countless ways to replace others in the Taoist sect, such as what Zhang Lianhua once planned to use.

Li Feiyan said: "I know that the grand lady in the Saint Mansion is an extremely powerful figure. She also had a great reputation when she was young. She was the head of the Saint Mansion and had a holiday with her sister. She also competed with her senior brother because of this. Although she failed to beat her senior brother, she also caused a lot of trouble for her senior brother. The senior brother took a lot of effort to calm the matter down. It was only in recent decades that there was no movement."

This was the first time Li Xuandu heard about this, and he couldn't help but ask: "The lady in this saint's mansion is not a immortal master, right?"

"That won't be." Li Feiyan's memory was particularly clear because of the holidays that year. "Sometimes, men could not support their own houses, so their daughter-in-law was the leader. This was the case with the saint's mansion back then. Although she was trapped in Confucian etiquette and law, she could not use her fists at will, but she was really powerful. She used the sign of the saint's mansion to have friendship with many famous scholars and scholars. In order to put pressure on her senior brother, she invited many people to come to Qizhou to fight with her senior brother."

Li Xuan became more and more curious and asked again: "This lady's family is very powerful?"

"That's not to mention that this person's surname is Jiang, and he calls him Mrs. Jiang. The Jiang family can only be said to be a scholarly family that was passed down from the family, but it's not to mention any noble family." Li Feiyan shook his head, "But there are rumors that she has something to do with the saint of Xinxue. I don't know if she heard the saint of Xinxue talk about books or the official disciple of the saint of Xinxue."

"It's the saint of the Heart Study again." Li Xuandu said with his forehead, "I feel that half of the remaining foundations of the Confucian Sect are left by this contemporary Su King. Without this saint, the Taoist Sect would not be so difficult."

Li Feiyan smiled and said, "After all, he is one of the four great saints of Confucianism, besides Yuan Sheng, and the master of the study of mind."

It is reasonable for young people like Li Xuan to know these past events. The reason why Xu Wugui, Zhang Jingxiu, Li Daoxu and others are well known is that in addition to their great reputation, the key is that over the years, they have always had a sense of existence. Many major events were either from their hands or had a deep relationship with them. However, other elderly people, if they do not participate in the affairs of the world, will quickly withdraw from the world and be forgotten by the world after the temple.

Li Xuan didn't ask any more questions, fell into deep thought.

However, the old men like Li Daoxu and Li Feiyan have not forgotten them yet, otherwise the master would not have specially placed secret scholars in the saint's mansion, perhaps just for future arrangements.

According to Li Feiyan, for some reason, the master's wife had a holiday with Mrs. Jiang, the mistress of the saint's mansion. Judging from Li Feiyan's attitude and the word "celebration of the saint", there is no deep hatred, it should be a conflict between women. After all, Qizhou is so big, the King of Qi has no princess, and there are no women in the Sheji Academy Palace. There is a wife each of Qingweizong and the saint's mansions. It is reasonable that these two wives had conflicts.

However, this conflict developed into a conflict between the Qingweizong and the Saint Mansion, which even led to the master Li Daoxu's personal consequences. With Li Xuan's understanding of the master, since he came forward in person, it was not a dispute of intention or face, but a struggle between the two sides for dominance in Qizhou, or the Qingweizong's temptation of the Saint Mansion. However, from the later results, the Confucian Sect strongly rushed to the Saint Mansion, forcing the Qingweizong to retreat and unable to reach into the inland of Qizhou. However, the Saint Mansion was also unable to pursue the East China Sea and the coastal prefectures were still the world of the Qingweizong.

Although Li Xuandu had no interaction with his master's wife, from others' descriptions, his master's wife was actually a kind person, so the conflict between the two wives might be a test or introduction led by Qingwei Sect. However, Li Feiyan was not very old at that time and had not yet entered the decision-making level of Qingwei Sect, so he did not know the inside story. In terms of generation, Li Feiyan was a peer of Li Daoxu, but in terms of age, Li Feiyan was not much different from Situ Xuance.

In fact, these things should be clearly recorded in Li Daoxu's study and in the relevant archives of the Qingweizong. However, Li Xuan had taken over the power of the Qingweizong for too short and had no time to read these old files. Because these files were extremely confidential, they were destined to not be handed over to others for management, and they could only be reviewed by the sect leader or the deputy sect leader himself.

Li Xuan came to his senses and asked, "What time is it now?"

Lu Yanbing was a newcomer. He immediately took out a fashionable pocket watch from his arms, opened the cover and took a look, and replied: "It's already the end of Si Shi."

Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, after Si, it is Wu.

Li Xuandu said, "It's morning soon. It's a big deal to worship ancestors, and it's impossible to delay. So, Bingyan took Ruxiu to wash up, change her clothes, and follow us to worship ancestors first, and then discuss slowly."

Lu Yanbing responded, then turned to Li Ruxiu and said, "Please follow me."

"Okay." Li Ruxiu stood up and left Li Xuandu's study with Lu Yanbing.

Li Feiyan asked, "Zi Mansion, what should the people from the saint's mansion deal with?"

Li Xuandu said: "It's just a matter of time before the encounter with the saint's mansion. Now that we have reached this point, there is nothing to say. Let's detain these people in the Li family's ancestral home. When I return to Qingwei Sect, I will take them to Qingwei Sect and hand them over to Tiangang Hall for supervision."

Because of his sister, Li Feiyan had no good impression of the saint's mansion. She could be regarded as the main war faction in the Qingwei Sect. When he heard Li Xuan say this, he had no objection, nodded and stood up and left.

Only Li Xuandu and Qin Su were left in the study. Qin Su remained silent for the moment, and only then did he speak: "Are you planning to attack the saint's mansion?"

Li Xuandu looked at the chess game between the two: "This is a inevitable thing. I told you that the earth master gave me the robe and bowl, which was equivalent to opening up a path for me. I was able to vigorously develop inns, and could turn the world and even change the day in the imperial capital. But you also know that just in an imperial capital, this change in the palace coup can only seize power, but cannot change the world, and cannot seek peace. I chose this path, but it was a last resort."

"But my master handed over Qingwei Sect to me and opened up another path for me. I could manage Qizhou and join forces with my father-in-law to form a siege against the imperial capital. This is the upright way to gain the country."

"So I changed my original decision, not to decide the victory or defeat with the Confucian Sect in the Imperial Capital, but to put it on a broader battlefield. If I want to manage Qizhou, there are two major problems, one is the Sheji Academy and the other is the saint's mansion. This is not only the reason why my master failed to fully control Qizhou, but also the reason why no one came out to top Qingyang Sect when Qingyang Sect was rampant in Qizhou, because neither side felt that they were the master of Qizhou, so they were not responsible for it."

"According to my original plan, I wanted to solve the problem of the Soji Academy first, and then solve the saint's mansion. Even because of some lucky mentality, if the saint's mansion has no action, I will not have a head-on conflict with it and can be left to my father-in-law to deal with it. But now it seems that luck is indeed a luxury. The people in the Confucian Sect have already begun to contact the saint's mansion in secret, and the saint's mansion also understands the principle of losing their lips and cold teeth, and responding to the Confucian Sect very actively, then I have to face the saint's mansion."

"The key now is that I have already started to attack the Soji Academy in the Qingqiu Cave Heaven. Now that I will be able to fight against two people when I provoke the saint's mansion, it is not in line with my expectations. But this is reasonable. If everything is in my expectations, then there will be nothing difficult in this world."

This is a heart-to-heart talk without any reservations. Only when facing Qin Su can Li Xuan be so calm.

After hearing what Li Xuandu said, Qin Su nodded and said, "I understand, what's the next step?"
