Chapter 4398 Chapter 4400 [Quanzhen Sect]
And every time Zhao Kuangyin destroyed a separatist regime and opened up territory, he considered it to be Xiang Nan's blessing, so he was also greatly rewarded.
Xiang Nan's title was added with four words, "Tai Chi Xuantian Supreme True Cultivator Wuwei Emperor", and Taoist temples were built in his honor to enshrine him.
The Quanzhen religion, which respected Xiang Nan as the supreme god, gradually emerged. They believe that the Sanqing Dynasty is just a fabrication by Taoist priests in the past. Not only has it never appeared in the human world, it has not even had any related miracles.
The only true supreme **** is Xiang Nan. He is the only one who has clearly attained enlightenment and become an immortal, and he has existed since the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, instead of enshrining those illusory so-called "Three Purities", it is better to enshrine Xiang Nan, the "real" god.
Therefore, in order to distinguish the previous Taiping Tao and Tianshi Tao, these Taoist priests also called themselves the "Quan Zhen Sect" because the gods they worshiped definitely existed and were real.
The Quanzhen Sect later received support from the royal family, and several Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect were consecrated by the emperor, and were even granted imperial edicts to lead Taoism across the country.
Xiang Nan didn't know anything about this, and he had no interest in it. He was still practicing Taoism in the mountains.
…
Subsequently, Zhao Kuangyin died and his younger brother Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne. It is said that on the night of Zhao Kuangyin's death, the sound of axes and chisels was heard in the palace, and palace residents saw the shadow of two people fighting under the candlelight from a distance.
Of course, Xiang Nan didn't see it in person, and he wasn't interested either.
After Zhao Guangyi came to the throne, he continued to support Tai Chi Taoism, and also named Xiang Nan the "Tai Chi Xuantian Supreme True Cultivator of Ten Thousand Tao Wuwei Shangling Great Emperor".
Later Song Zhenzong, Song Renzong, Song Yingzong, Song Shenzong, Song Zhezong, Song Huizong, etc. also all advocated Taoism and suppressed Buddhism, and supported Tai Chi Tao.
In particular, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty was even more pious. He came to Zhongnan Mountain to pay homage in person every year, which cost a lot of money and money.
After all, the capital of the Song Dynasty was in Bianliang, and it took more than a thousand miles to get to Zhongnan Mountain south of Chang'an, which was further than the Qing emperor's summer resort, so it can be said to be very sincere.
But despite this, Xiang Nan was not interested in him at all. He just practiced Taoism in the mountains and never came out of the mountains to see him. Despite this, Song Huizong remained sincere.
…
After the disgrace of Jingkang, the two emperors of Huiqin, the palace ladies in the city, and the treasures of the Song Dynasty were all taken captive to the north by the Jin people.
Only the ninth prince Zhao Gou was lucky enough to cross the Yangtze River and establish the Southern Song Dynasty in Hangzhou.
When the Jingkang Disgrace occurred, Xiang Nan took away the imperial seal and gave it neither to Zhao Gou nor to Emperor Jin Xizong Wanyan Dan, but kept it for himself.
Because at this time, Zhao Gou only had half of the country south of the Yangtze River. The Jin Kingdom only occupied the area north of the Yangtze River, and the two dynasties had not yet completed unification.
Moreover, Zhao Gou had the evil deed of unjustly killing Yue Fei, and Wanyan Dan would be killed by Hailing King Wanyan Liang soon, so neither of them had the appearance of a wise king.
Xiang Nan didn't even look down on these two guys, so naturally he wouldn't send them the national jade seal.
This also resulted in Zhao Gou not passing on the national jade seal to succeed to the throne, so he had to create a jade seal himself to ascend the throne. Wanyan Dan captured the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty and even conquered Zhongnan Mountain. He did not see Xiang Nan deliver the imperial seal to him. He was also very depressed.
After all, Xiang Nan would send seals to the emperor since Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty. Western Han Dynasty, Eastern Han Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty... Xiang Nan has been associated with the imperial seal and the divine right of kings.
Therefore, Zhao Gou no longer supported the development of Quanzhen Religion, and in the northern Jin Kingdom, the development of Quanzhen Religion was also suppressed.
...In the blink of an eye, more than 150 years later, the Jin Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty were successively wiped out by the Mongolian Kingdom. Kublai Khan founded the Yuan Dynasty and became the common ruler of the world.
When the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties and Guozuo were added together, it was indeed the three hundred and nineteen years that Xiang Nan wanted to say. Not one year more, but not one year less. This makes the world even more impressed.
Kublai Khan established the Yuan Dynasty and unified the north and south of the Yangtze River. The territory was unparalleled in size. However, Xiang Nan did not give him the imperial seal, and Kublai Khan did not take it seriously.
Because he believed in "conquering the world immediately", his dynasty was defeated by his soldiers, horses, bows and arrows, not by a so-called "god", so he didn't care.
Therefore, he did not suppress the development of the Quanzhen Sect, which allowed the once declining Quanzhen Sect to revive.
After the Yuan Dynasty fell to the Southern Song Dynasty, another eighty-nine years passed before it finally fell to the Ming Dynasty established by Zhu Yuanzhang.
When Zhu Yuanzhang succeeded to the throne in Jinling and proclaimed himself emperor, Xiang Nan appeared in the palace again riding a crane and handed him the imperial seal.
"The land of China has been in ruins for nearly a hundred years, and now we finally have the leader of the resurgence." Xiang Nan looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "I hope you will be brave enough to pursue the poor bandits, and not pretend to be an academic overlord, and completely regain the Central Plains region."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xiang Nan in disbelief.
"Are you really a god? You have lived from the Qin Dynasty to the present?" he asked in surprise.
Xiang Nan is only in his twenties, not even as old as him, and he doesn't look like a god.
"You are not the first emperor to ask me this. Li Shimin also asked me this back then." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Li Shimin?!" Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised.
The Tang Dynasty was more than 700 years ago, and it was considered ancient to him. It was even harder to imagine what the Qin Dynasty was like.
"Speaking of which, it all happened a long time ago." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "I have also waited for many years before I finally found a world hero."
"Thank you." Zhu Yuanzhang felt extremely honored when he heard what he said. "Old god, I dare not ask, how many years can our Zhu family stay in power?"
"You also want to ask this question." Xiang Nan smiled, "Li Shimin and Zhao Kuangyin both asked me this question, and I told them. But not knowing is actually better than knowing.
The emperors in the mid-Tang Dynasty and the mid-Song Dynasty all thought that Guo Zuo was still alive, so they didn't care about national affairs at all. They only cared about eating, drinking, having fun, extravagant enjoyment, and feeding the common people all day long. As a result, the Anshi Rebellion and the Jingkang Incident occurred. "
"What you said makes sense, so I won't ask." Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it and felt that it made sense.
If the state of Zuo is too short, he will inevitably be frightened when he finds out, fearing that his descendants will be unworthy. But if Guo Zuo is too long, he will worry about his descendants causing chaos.
When Li Longji and Zhao Ji came to the throne, they probably thought that their family's empire was still strong, so they indulged in mischief and did nothing serious.
As a result, Li Longji encountered the Anshi Rebellion and had to flee to Tianfu in embarrassment. However, Zhao Ji suffered the Jingkang Incident and was kidnapped by the Jin people and sent to northern Xinjiang, where he became Duke Huunde.
Learning from the past, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want his descendants to make the same mistakes, so he simply didn't ask, lest his descendants become careless.
"In fact, as long as you practice more good governance, benevolent governance, and treat the people as human beings instead of animals, your Zhu family's throne will last forever. Otherwise, water can carry a boat or capsize it. I hope you will take care of yourself." Xiang Nan He ordered again.
"Thank you, old god, for your advice." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
