Chapter 699: The Absurd Dreamer

There were many Taoist priests favored by the emperor, and not many like Zhang Xubai. These old wise men have their own tricks. For example, a man named Wang Laozhi was quite amazing. When he saw the emperor, he handed the emperor a large envelope. When the emperor opened it, he was shocked. It turned out that it contained a erotic poem he wrote to his beloved concubines in his early years. The content was very secretive, which means it was very vulgar. The emperor was immediately stunned and could no longer find the north.

Before continuing the topic, I would like to mention a book of "Analysis of Dreams" written by Freud. People often hear this sentence: Dreams are opposite! Is it really the case? It says that dreams are not groundless, meaningless, absurd, nor are they the product of part of consciousness sleeping, but only a small part of them sleeping less and awakening. It is a completely meaningful mental phenomenon. In fact, it is a fulfillment of a wish. It can be regarded as a continuation of a mental activity in a state of awakeness. It is produced by highly complex intellectual activities. Dreams are the real dialogue between a person and his own heart, the process of learning from himself, and another life closely related to himself. Everything you see and feel in a hidden dream, breathing, tears, pain and joy are not meaningless.

I was expecting whether Su Dongpo, the most famous in the world (January 8, 1037-August 24, 1101) and Zhao Ji, the Emperor Huizong of Song (May 5, 1082-June 5, 1135) had any intersection? There is no record in history in history. Did Zhao Ji dream of surpassing Su Dongpo in art? He always compared himself with Su Dongpo in his heart? Later, he subtly influenced his life? Letting such a person be an emperor was simply a tragedy of the Northern Song Dynasty. How could he have the heart to manage the government?

Here is an example from a painting academy. During the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, good painting was also one of the criteria for becoming an official: Zhao Ji had a lot of interactions with Wang Shi before he became emperor, and Wang Shi was also a good friend of Su Dongpo. This happened five years after Princess Bao'an's death. King Su and others had the kind words of the Western Garden Collection. Wang Shi's Baohuitang was also written by Dongpo. Can Zhao Ji not know what Dongpo said at all? Zhao Ji later used poems to test painters, which was related to what Dongpo said repeatedly. The focus of the assessment of painters was on whether the poet's thoughts could be obtained, not just painting skills. Song Hanjie, who was praised by Dongpo for painting, became a doctor of painting. Is it a coincidence that even stories such as peacock rising to the dock do not violate the importance of painting.

The viewpoint of the face! Dongpo only never praised literati paintings such as "in leisure time, I hold my hair, write with intention, and seek simplicity to gain purity and elegance". The Xuanhe Painting Book did not choose such people. There are quite a few people in the Central Plains today - one place is a place of water and land to nourish the other, do you believe it? Dongpo's painting theory praised Wu Daozi as the saint of painting, recognized Song Hanjie (a native of Xingyang) and others for paintings by scholars, and expressed the view that "the painting is similar in shape and is adjacent to children" on the branch paintings of Yanling (now Xuchang City, Henan Province). The secret attack of "Xuanhe Painting Book" was not accidental. If Dongpo could live for ten or twenty years and have a life of poetry and wine with Zhao Ji, Dongpo used his noble sentiment to impress Zhao Ji, and history might not be like that later.

Wang Shin's personal profile: This guy is a son-in-law. Most of the son-in-laws of the Song Dynasty married military officers. This was also the precedent for Zhao Kuangyin. At that time, it was entirely to win over those military generals. The tragedy of the military generals in the dynasty can be imagined. The emperor did not trust him and was impeached by civil officials everywhere. Di Qing died in fear. This is the best example. The treatment of the son-in-law was naturally not much better. According to the laws and regulations of the Song Dynasty, the son-in-law could only be granted honorary titles such as sanitation generals, governors, regiment training envoys, and governors. It was a completely useless trick, but the princess' monthly income reached 150 when Zhao Kuangyin was

Guan, there is a bonus of 50 guan during the festival. It has increased to 300 guan during the Zhidao period of Zhao Guangyi. When he got married, there were luxurious weddings and huge dowry--the royal family bought hundreds of thousands of guan. According to the current standards, he is a completely billionaire. In addition to being depressed in spiritual civilization, literati with a little talent like to visit kilns, and his material civilization is still relatively rich. The Baoan princess he married, like all the princesses in the Song Dynasty, learned well from the three and four virtues. He was strictly disciplined from childhood, was low-key and not ostentatious, and did not have the golden branches of other dynasties.

Ye’s bad habits, Wang Shi’s mother is a widow. Since Princess Bao’an married Wang Shi, she has taken care of the Wang family wholeheartedly. She even set up her room next to her mother-in-law’s bedroom, serving vegetables and meals every day. When her mother-in-law fell ill, she personally prepared medicine and fed medicine, and served her extremely thoughtful. She was even more considerate to Wang Shi, but Wang Shi was not good at character, but she was actually lustful. When the princess got sick, he and her concubine were rude by the princess’ bed, proclaiming lust in the daytime, and indulging the other party to insult the princess. Guess what our Bao’an princess did in the end, not only did she not blame Wang Shi, but she didn’t even look for him.

My mother's family complained, and until she was critically ill, she still pleaded with Song Shenzong, hoping to restore the position of Wang Shiguan, who was demoted because of Su Dongpo's Wutai poetry case. Song Shenzong met her request in order to comfort her daughter. If it weren't for her wet nurse's report after Princess Bao'an's death, Wang Shiguan would have been spared. The vicious princess that Chen Shimei, who was beaten with a guillotine, was completely fabricated by novelists. The princess of the Song Dynasty were generally good, and she would definitely marry a white and rich beauty and become a winner in life. There is another embarrassing thing to do with him. I will mention it later.

Back to the topic, the most famous Taoist in the dynasty was Lin Lingsu. This man was deeply aware of the essence of gods and ghosts, and his biggest feature was his tongue running around. Moreover, he was very brave, very loud and extremely firm and decisive. He had a very strange appearance. It is said that because he was greedy for wine and had no money, he credited him and owed too much wine. The creditor came to collect the debt. He "raised his hand to fold his face". As a result, half of his face was as dry as a skeleton, and half of his face was as moist as an ordinary person. To be fair, just based on this look, most people would treat him as half a god when they saw him. And our leader, Taoist Emperor, was not the same.

As a general person, the emperor was stunned when he saw Lin Lingsu. He asked in confusion: "Have you ever been an official in the past? Have you ever seen me?" Taoist master Lin Lingsu replied: "I served as a servant in the heavenly Jade Emperor in the past, and I served the lord of the saint." The emperor said: "I still remember that thing in a trance. I remember you seemed to be riding a green cow. Where did the green cow go now?" Lingsu replied: "I will send it to the country of external realms and will come here soon." The emperor was surprised and happy. Not only did he know his previous life, but he also found the immortal companion in the sky. The emperor was extremely happy.

Like a hypnotic master of modern psychological therapy, Lin Lingsu simply awakened all the sleeping memories of the emperor's past life. He told the emperor: There are nine skyscrapers in the sky, and Shenxiao is the highest, and his office space is called Mansion. God's eldest son is the King of Yuqing of Shenxiao Mansion, who is responsible for the work in the south, known as the Great Emperor of the Longevity, and this god is His Majesty. Then, Lin Lingsu humbly told the emperor that he was the fairy court named Chu Hui in the mansion. Now that his master has descended to the earth to be the emperor, he of course he has to come to the earth.

The king assisted by the Shi. Lin Lingsu pointed to Cai Jing and asked the emperor: Don’t you remember? This is Zuo Yuan Xianbo. He spoke so loudly that he pointed the people all over the room to the emperor: Wang Fu is a civil servant, Sheng Zhang is a Baohua official, and Concubine Liu, who is as beautiful as an immortal, is Concubine An of Jiuhua Yuzhen. Tong Guan and others are also listed in the immortal class. This made everyone happy: No wonder everyone got together so happy. After a long time of trouble, it turned out that he was an old friend in the sky in his previous life.

After Emperor Huizong found out his past and present, he was quite moved. He sent someone to promulgate the relevant departments: He was God's eldest son, but because of his mercy on the land of China, he begged God's father to be willing to descend to the earth to be the lord of the people and to return the world to the right path. So, after the Taoist Academy asked God for instructions, he formally appointed our Emperor Huizong as the "Cult Master Daojun Emperor".

The leader, Emperor Daojun, once personally attended the lecture meeting of Master Chu Huixianqing Lin Lingsu. At that time, under the advocacy of the emperor, Taoist priests across the country had official positions and enjoyed wages, salary and welfare benefits according to their qualifications, which caused people to flock to them. In order to expand their influence, each lecture meeting had a Lent meal, which was a very good dinner, and listeners could get a charity of 300 cents. As a result, many poor people bought a piece of green cloth and dressed up as a Taoist priest to listen to the lecture. It is said that the cost of each lecture meeting was as high as about one million yuan today.

The lectures of Master Lin Ling and Master Lin are particularly nice. Historical records say that although Master Lin’s lectures are not unique, they are always mixed and funny, with vivid and wise words, which makes the audience startle and happy and sad, and burst into laughter from time to time. The atmosphere is particularly lively and lively. In fact, Chinese people living today, especially Chinese who have heard of various masters preaching Dharma, should be no stranger to this. The leader, Daojun, and Emperor, was overjoyed at such moments, "no rituals of the monarch and ministers." In a trance, the emperor may have really regarded himself as the eldest son of the Jade Emperor.

During this period, Taoist practice, ceremonies, rituals, classics and lifestyles became an important part of the life of the head of state of our empire. The emperor consciously demanded himself, intoxicated and enjoyed it. Therefore, during this period, the power of Taoism in China far exceeded Buddhism and reached the peak of its own development. For this reason, Taoist disciples should really thank the leader of the emperor.

It is said that at that time, Lin Lingsu alone had more than 20,000 disciples, and his wealth and food were swaying inside and outside the capital. His power was extremely strong, and he was even called the "Taoist Palaces", which means that this person's power could already be ranked alongside the prime minister.

It was at such a moment that the artificiality of Master Chu Hui and Xianqing Lin Ling Sulin led to Emperor Huizong's rethinking of the Yuanyou Party's case and the criminals who wrote a letter to speak out.

Historical records say that one day, the emperor held a banquet in Taiqing Tower, and Lin Lingsu served the banquet. It happened that there was a Yuanyou Party Monument downstairs of Taiqing Tower. Lin Lingsu walked to the monument and bowed to him. The emperor was surprised and asked him why he was like this. Master Zhuang Rong replied: "The names on this monument are mostly stars in the sky. I am not bowing my head to pay tribute. How do you get along with me when I return to heaven in the future?" Moreover, it is said that the old man with bull's nose immediately recited a poem. The poem says:

Su Huang did not become a guest of literary talent, and Tong Cai became a minister of the country. There was no conclusion for thirty years, so I wonder who the traitor was?

People cannot find any evidence of the relationship between Lin Lingsu and Su Dongpo and Huang Tingjian. Taoist priests suddenly spoke for those unlucky guys, and Huizong was not convinced. This may be an important reason that prompted Song Huizong's attitude towards the Yuanyou Party members to significantly improve.

Before and after this, there was another Taoist priest who once made the emperor feel a special pressure in a similar way. It is said that once the emperor inspected a Taoist temple. The Taoist priest in the temple bowed to God in front of the emperor and bowed to God for a long time before he got up. The emperor waited for a long time in surprise, so he asked him what happened? The Taoist priest replied: "I just arrived at the place where God's office, and it happened to be Kuisu reporting to God's work. It took him a long time to finish. I can only wait until he finishes before I can submit the memorial." After hearing this, the emperor sighed and asked who Na Kui Su? What did he report to God? The Taoist priest replied: "I am far away and cannot hear clearly, and I don't know what they are talking about. However, the Kui Su Chen saw it clearly, which was Su Shi and Su Dongpo, the former scholar of Duanming Hall." It is said that Emperor Huizong changed his appearance when he heard this. Subsequently, his attitude towards the case of Yuanyou traitor.

To be fair, this change is particularly terrifying. Think about it, as a head of state, our emperor, changes in the governance strategy will occur from time to time in this way. It is really difficult for people to have any optimistic imagination about the future of this country.

At this moment, the imagination of artist Song Huizong has already been filled with Taoism and is soaring over the world in real life.

It should be said that the Taoist ideas and the royal ideas are the most tacit understanding, because the pursuit of the two is highly consistent. For Taoists, this shore, that is, the pursuit of happiness in this life is the most important - health and longevity, immortality, cultivation to become an immortal, ascension in the sun, etc. If you can practice to become an immortal in this life, it means that the problems of the next life will be solved once and for all. Compared with this clever approach, Buddhists who practice hard in the next life seem particularly stupid.

Generally speaking, most emperors in our empire are very smart. There are actually two most anxious problems in their hearts: one is to sit firmly on the dragon throne under their butts and not let others snatch it away; the second is how to sit as long as possible, and it is best to sit down forever forever. These two fundamental anxiety are the main reasons why most of our smart emperors especially like Taoism.

Moreover, the beauty of Taoism is really good. For example, for male practitioners like the emperor, health and longevity can be achieved by collecting yin and replenishing yang. The process of collecting yin and replenishing yang may be something that men from all over the world, except those with physical and psychological disorders, yearn for. This process requires: the object of collecting yin is best a virgin who is 28 years old, that is, a virgin who is about sixteen years old; she should have white and delicate skin, white and red complexion. The bones are delicate and delicate, the hair is greasy and black, and the facial features are harmonious and beautiful. In fact, it is a standard beautiful virgin; and the more the number, the better. The place where the yin is, it is best to have mountains and water, lush trees, birds singing and flowers, with gurgling water and music that is just right. The time for yin is, it is best to have spring time when all things are revived, etc. According to the great Freudian theory, there is no need to analyze it, this is obviously the dream of men all over the world.
