Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Service politics...

Kong Ming murmured and repeated these words summarized and refined by later generations.

Although a big man dressed in plain clothes and with a white body can be a prime minister, he is still a minority.

Busy to support the family and entertained in leisure time, this is the normal life of most ordinary people.

Kong Ming, on the other hand, couldn't help but think of the policy he had implemented casually in Chengdu.

The Divine General Champion is the title of the novel finally decided by Kong Ming based on what he saw in the Ming Dynasty in the light screen.

Taking Tai Shigong's own handwriting as the manuscript, adding folklore and oral polish, Kong Ming finally presented a story about the champion with ups and downs.

Well, most of the time Huo Qubing himself wouldn’t recognize it after seeing it.

The novel was sold by paper publishers, and eloquent people were looking for storytellers at tea stalls.

And then... the response was mediocre.

On the one hand, it is because although there are efforts to promote literacy, it is still a little difficult to understand the whole book.

On the other hand, it was only after questioning that I realized that for the people of Bashu, the story of Huo Qubing was not as popular as the story of Li Binglai.

After the story was rewritten by Kong Ming and an old man from Bashu, the storyteller’s tea stall became a new place for Chengdu people to hang out in their spare time, and it was well received.

Now looking at what later generations said, Kong Ming has new thoughts.

This novel should be regarded as an article serving the people, right?

After hearing this, Pang Tong called Confucian classics imprisonment and was silent for a moment.

Then he sighed:

Why does a great craftsman need to praise the classics? Why does a craftsman need to obey the will of heaven when he creates?

These two sentences are also concise and to the point.

After all, even when the Eastern Han Dynasty was strong and prosperous, if you wanted to get ahead, you had to have a master who was famous as a Confucian scholar, otherwise it would be difficult to get ahead.

If all this collusion can be returned to dust, Pang Tong would be fine with it.

Zhang Fei immediately interrupted and said:

Commander Pang, where are we now?

Isn't Song, who talks about human relations with animals, more imprisoned than us?

So Pang Tong was stunned for a moment, and finally shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Then I remembered that Tang Jianghan had stepped on most of the pits he had stepped on again, so he could only smile bitterly:

If the car in front of us overturns, future generations will not notice it.

[We have roughly talked about the relationship between empty talk metaphysics and Buddhism and Taoism before, so I won’t go into details at this time. I will just talk about something more down-to-earth.

First of all, the Buddhism introduced to China at that time was still considered an advanced culture in a sense.

The original Buddhism talked about the Five Mings, namely Inner Ming, Statement, Skillful Ming, Cause Ming, and Medical Prescription Ming.

As the name suggests, the original Buddhism paid more attention to medical prescriptions. It not only explained cases, but also treated methods, many of which were more advanced than those in the local area.

A typical example is Erfeng. If he hadn't been a famous doctor in Tianzhu, Li Erfeng wouldn't have tried to become a live doctor.

In addition, the theoretical system of Buddhism needs to be more complete. In this regard, ancient Buddhism can lift up ancient Taoism.

Ancient Taoism adopted the local understanding of the underworld, that is, the soul is immortal, enters the underworld after death, and lives like the earth.

This ancient view of the underworld has had one of the biggest problems since the Han Dynasty, and that is the inconsistency of merit. Even great Confucian masters have difficulty explaining why evil people enjoy fortune and good people suffer disaster.

Let’s not talk about Buddhism. We have all heard of reincarnation. The most powerful thing about this theory is that it solves the above-mentioned Achilles’ heel of Taoism.

The brief summary of the above two points is that Buddhist prescriptions are more effective and better at arguing the scriptures.

It was also by relying on these two advantages that Buddhism gained a firm foothold in ancient China, filled the gap of Taoism among the aristocratic class, and received official support.

As we have said before, during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism were basically in a situation where they copied and debated each other's scriptures.

For example, during the reign of Emperor Hui of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Taoist priest Wang Fu wrote the Laozi Hua Jing, trying to fundamentally become the father of Buddhism.

Not to be outdone, Buddhism wrote The Treatise on False Accusations and The Treatise on the Purity of Dharma Conduct, saying that Confucius and Lao Tzu both attended lectures under Sakyamuni's bodhi tree.

In the Southern Dynasties, a Taoist priest named Gu Huan wrote an article Lun on Yi and Xia more directly, advocating that China and Yi were incompatible, and accused Buddhism of being the method of Xirong, and that preaching in China must contain evil intentions.

Buddhism is not to be outdone, saying that poor monks may not harbor evil intentions, but your Taoism is really treasonous and unethical.

The old story between Gan Zhongke and Zhang Jiao was dug up again by Buddhism. Together with some dark history, Buddhism directly accused Taoism of a lot of crimes.

Fierce and rebellious, a group of monsters, using the Tao to cause chaos, and the wrong way to confuse the public are what the eminent monks at that time called Taoism.

While Buddhism and Taoism were criticizing each other, epidemics in troubled times were still rampant, and precarious life became the main theme of this era.

The life of displacement, the reality that the people were in dire straits, and the separated and turbulent society all caused the shackles imposed by Confucianism on individuals to loosen rapidly from Emperor Wu onwards.

Just as later generations often lamented that the country is unfortunate but the poet is lucky, the combination of these factors made the people freer in thinking and more creative. Most of the first wave of ancient artists were born in this era.

In the end, these foreshadowings became the best foundation for the prosperous Sui and Tang Dynasties. After careful accumulation, they eventually became one of the most splendid chapters of Chinese culture.

Among them, the contribution of the epidemic may be indispensable. 】

For Li Shimin, today's Manna Hall has become the most familiar state when he first listened to the light curtain.

Eat some melons and fruits, drink some tea, your eyes will be overwhelmed, and your brain will check and fill in the gaps.

Whether it is the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, or the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Li Shimin is very familiar with it, because there is a wealth of historical materials to read, and he basically read them all when he was young.

With this kind of knowledge reserve, it sounds natural to feel more relaxed, and it sounds quite leisurely.

But I didn't expect that he would be picked up and slapped in the face while talking.

I have a grandson, the King of Medicine, why do I need a doctor from Tianzhu?

Now that he said this, Li Shimin was very confident.

Moreover, after a year of dietary recuperation, he no longer felt the pain of headache.

Today, Li Shimin is quite confident. What famous doctor from the countryside can compare to Dr. Sun, who is famous in history?

Sun Simiao had long been immune to these praises, but now he felt that the fragmentary words of later generations pointed out a new direction:

Regardless of the Tang Dynasty or the Yi Di, the inner structure of people is the same. If this is the case, it means that the medical theories are similar, so we can adopt the good prescriptions of the other people and supplement our own.

There should be no need to worry about Buddhism. After all, Xuanzang is already on his way, the existing Buddhist scriptures have been almost translated, and the prescriptions have been copied early.

But thinking about the maritime affairs of the Tang Dynasty, Sun Simiao felt that he was ready to take action.

Maybe there is a miracle cure for terminal illnesses in the Central Plains in the Southern Islands?

But if you want to go to sea, you may need a team of people who know both medicine and navigation.

So Sun Simiao met Li Shimin's gaze with expectation.

Li Shimin turned his head at this time and savored the sentence carefully:

The country is unfortunate but the poet is fortunate...

Qin Fu's chant, which was hanging in the hall, attracted the attention of many people in an instant.
