Chapter 494: Arrive in Chang'an
When he returned to the inn, Shen Xin asked again that Guo Hao did not keep it in hiding this time and called Zhao Pu and Chen Xuan over.
"Your Majesty wants to use Shaolin Temple to deal with Gaochang?"
Zhao Pu was surprised when he heard this. Guo Hao was so imaginative that the few people couldn't help but feel confused before they could react.
"It's not Shaolin Temple, it's Buddhism to be precise.
Buddhism has been popular since ancient times, from the king to the people who believe in Buddhism, there were records of the city's population of 30,000 and the monks of 3,000.
I have had this idea about the Western Regions. I had rectified Buddhism for this day, but I had never decided who to go.
As the origin of Zen Buddhism in the Central Plains, Shaolin Temple is also the place where Zen Master Bodhidharma preaches. It has a high status in Buddhism, so King Gaochang will definitely pay attention to it.
Moreover, the monks in Shaolin Temple are different from other monks. They have the ability to stay with them, so it is easier to go to the Western Regions.
As long as we unify Buddhism in the Western Regions, it is equivalent to unifying most of the people, and it will be much less difficult for us to recover."
Guo Hao said this, and he couldn't help but have an idea in his heart, that is, whether to create a "god creation" movement.
With the technology he mastered, it is not a problem to get some special effects, and then he said that he was the reincarnation of the Buddha, and Gaochang Kingdom might surrender directly.
"Although Shaolin Temple is outstanding, it is just a temple. This is not easy, so did they agree?"
Yes, Shaolin Temple is just a temple, and the monks inside are all monks. If they refuse, Guo Hao will not be able to force it unless Guo Hao uses his power to suppress others.
"Haha, this is not simple. I promised them to help him unify the five major schools. Monk Hongtai was moved, so he agreed."
Five major schools?
The five major schools here are not sects in martial arts novels, but five branches of Shaolin Temple in history.
Shaolin, Henan, Shaolin, Shaolin, Shaolin, Shaolin, Shaolin, Shaolin, and Shaolin in Wudang in Henan.
Later, in the early Yuan Dynasty, there was a Shaolin monk named Fuyu who unified the five major schools and founded the Shaolin Temple Xueting Caodong Sect.
He also wrote the Secret of Descendants. Since then, all the monks of Shaolin Temple in all dynasties have named it according to this, and Shaolin Temple is considered unified.
Guo Hao does not understand this history, but these places do have connections with Shaolin Temple, especially Shaolin, Fujian, which is actually Southern Shaolin.
Guo Hao agreed to help Shaolin Temple expand its scale, Hongtai agreed to send monks to the Western Regions to preach the Dharma, and at the same time cooperated with Guo Hao's plans.
The two hit it off, and Hongtai was also very happy. When Shaolin Temple could help Li Shimin, why couldn't he help Guo Hao?
Moreover, as far as Hongtai knows, Guo Hao is not very friendly to Buddhism. In order to avoid the situation of Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou, Hongtai had no choice.
Using Buddhism to rule the Western Regions is indeed a way. Living Buddhas from Tibet in later generations have had a great influence.
But since he is a living Buddha, he is still a human being. He may become a god after his death, but he will still be ruled by Guo Hao while he is alive.
If this method doesn't work, then Guo Hao may have to make a big fuss again, so in order to reduce sacrifice, Shaolin Temple has done a good thing.
The next morning, everyone continued to rush and looked at the people's sentiments along the way. Apart from the problems found before, the people's lives are quite acceptable.
Guo Hao is already a good emperor to let the people have a meal. As for business, education, and sustainable development, the people don’t want that.
...
After a month, the group finally arrived at Chang'an City, the first imperial capital in history, but now it is in ruins.
Seeing this scene, everyone was silent. When Zhu Wen forced Emperor Zhaozong of Tang to move the capital to Luoyang, burning the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties, it can be said that he was a sinner for the ages.
The prosperous Tang Dynasty made many people dream of...
Chang'an City carries the memories of many literati and can only appear in the text.
Guo Hao stood on a rubble, he had already revealed his identity, local officials came to welcome him, and the guards also turned from secret to light.
“The peaks are like gathering, the waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are like Tongguan Road.
Looking at Xidu, hesitating.
I am sad that the Qin and Han dynasties have been made of earth in the palaces.
The people suffer;
Death, the people suffer."
After reading a song, all the officials were in a heavy mood. Although Chang'an City has recovered a little over the years, the glory of that year can no longer be seen again.
The people watched from afar, and they all wanted to figure out what the emperor came here to do. As the people of the former imperial capital, their pride has not yet disappeared.
Guo Hao looked around and said, "You should still remember the glory of Chang'an when you open the palace in the nine heavens.
Seeing today's scene, as the people of the Song Dynasty, I don't know what you are thinking, but I feel so sad!
The Tang Empire is such a powerful existence. All nations come to worship and stand proudly in the world. Why is it destroyed? We should reflect on why it perished!
We should learn from the past and learn from the future, and we should learn from the past and not let our descendants feel sad for us.
The Qin people had no time to mourn themselves, but later generations mourned them; the descendants mourned them but did not understand them, which also made the descendants mourn their descendants again..."
After Guo Hao finished speaking, he came down from the ruins and the officials followed behind him. No one dared to speak. Everyone could see that Guo Hao was in a bad mood.
Guo Hao warned officials not to repeat the same mistakes as the past and the present. They were all very clear about the reasons for the demise of the Tang Dynasty.
Except for the emperor's incompetence, the rest are all due to officials.
Years of natural disasters and man-made disasters have affected the output of grain, and the working people at the bottom are suffering. Local eunuchs are popular in the fish countryside.
As a result, the largest and longest peasant uprising in the late Tang Dynasty in history broke out.
After the Anshi Rebellion, the generals who participated in the suppression of the rebellion were awarded the title of Jiedu and recruited soldiers and horses in their respective places, which created conditions for the separatist rule of the feudal states.
Therefore, after the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty experienced separatist situation of feudal states and the imperial power was threatened.
At the same time, the disputes between the cliques were also very serious. For their own interests, each party connected eunuchs and vassal states.
The country's future was ignored and the efforts to exclude ministers from non-partisan parties destroyed the normal process of government discussion and administration, and made the emperor unable to correctly formulate the country's future policies and guidelines, which made the country gradually decline.
The emperor was unable to understand the sufferings of the people, and the people could not give back to the emperor.
So after Guo Hao came to Chang'an, he took the opportunity to warn the officials once.
The eunuchs in the Song Dynasty had no power, and Guo Hao also followed the principle of voluntary selection. Those who were born with disabilities were the best, either voluntary.
There are also cliques, but they can be controlled. Local governments are no longer the final say of one person. The rights are divided and officials can be checked and balanced.
The people outside didn't know what Guo Hao was doing, but Guo Hao still sent someone to issue a notice announcing that Chang'an would be regarded as Zhongjing.
The people of Chang'an cheered and cheered. Like the people of later generations, who do not want their parents to be valued by the country?
Of course, there are some people who are taking advantage of the situation, but Guo Hao has already made arrangements and explained the government before coming. The urban planning is carried out in a unified manner. The government has long understood the situation of each company.
On the basis of Chang'an City, a royal city is not as large as that of the imperial palace and is enough for officials to use for office use.
Guo Hao could not restore Chang'an City. After hundreds of years of construction, he does not have so much spare money to build the palace now.
However, he kept some ruins as much as possible and then restored them. The restoration of the buildings will not be used as the palace. He wants to start the tourism industry.
At this time, it sounded unrealistic to develop the tourism industry, but Guo Hao had already begun to prepare for the paving of the railway, and Chang'an, as Zhongjing, must be opened first.
The first railway line must be connected to the Sanjing, so that transportation between the two will be much more convenient, so you can naturally bring people here.
These are Guo Hao's subsequent ideas. What he wants to do now is to build a royal city as a political inspection point in the Song Dynasty to assist him in governing the world.
After a series of investigations, Guo Hao determined the final plan and Shen Xin was left here to supervise the worker, which was also one of the purposes of him bringing Shen Xin out.
At the same time, construction has started in Jinling, and Guo Zhishun personally built the capital, so there must be no problem.
After saying goodbye to Shen Xin, Guo Hao was about to go to Youzhou. At this time, Youzhou had already started construction. As the capital of the Song Dynasty, it was the top priority.
"I'm leaving, be careful yourself. Ziyun will stay to protect you. If you encounter problems that cannot be solved, please contact me."
Although communication is inconvenient, the speed of the pigeon is still very fast.
"Don't worry, I'll take this time to study the phone number, otherwise it will be too inconvenient to contact!"
