"I have met Your Majesty!"

Fan Hua was over fifty years old, wearing a simple blue Taoist robe, with slender eyebrows and black beard, giving him an air of immortality.

"The Taoist priest is exempt from the gift!"

I am a staunch atheist in the 21st century.

Now Luo Youdu has wavered in his thoughts. After all, no matter how ridiculous the theories about ghosts and gods are, they are not as ridiculous as when he traveled through time.

Therefore, he has a certain degree of reverence for things involving gods and Buddhas.

However, as the emperor of China, he prefers to be close to Chinese gods and goddesses, and is particularly friendly to Taoism, the state religion.

If faith is treated as a piece of pie, Taoism gets the biggest share and has a standard bottom line. No matter how Buddhism or Manichaeism develops, they cannot encroach on Taoism's interests.

As for Buddhism, Manichaeism, and even the Great Food Dharma that may be incorporated in the future, the Catholic Church each competes for the remaining interests based on its own abilities.

Faced with the preferential treatment from the imperial court, Taoists spared no effort to promote Emperor Luo's bravery and benevolence, and such words as the purple micro star coming to earth to save the world.

Not to mention there are so many people who believe...

It's just that the real Taoist people are too noble and like the life of idle clouds and wild cranes. Just like the most famous old immortal Fuyao Chen Tuan in this era, he is a master who sees the beginning but not the end of the dragon.

Luo Youdu felt that it was much more difficult to meet him than to meet him as an emperor.

But fortunately, there are real Taoists like Ma Yu, a Taoist priest with a pure heart, and Taoist priests like Qiu Chuji, who are "trouble-loving" and hate evil.

This is the case for Fan Hua, who was Chen Tuan's disciple. He was born into a prosperous family. He studied prose in his early years, read poetry and books, was generous with money, and helped refugees. He was undoubtedly a clean figure in the troubled times of the Five Dynasties. In the peaceful and prosperous times, Fan Hua will be a

A well-known good man in the village, but he lives in an era where people cannibalize people. His good deeds and wealth are a deadly poison.

Soldiers and thieves mercilessly plundered their county town and ransacked his home. His parents, wife and children all died tragically. He escaped because he went out drinking with his friends. From then on, his temperament changed drastically. He abandoned literature and martial arts, traveled around the world, and killed rapists.

After eliminating evil, he later met Chen Tuan and became a good teacher, becoming one of his most proud disciples.

Fan Hua practiced both Confucianism and Taoism, and his bones were full of the Confucian blood of cultivating oneself, managing one's family, and governing the world. He was not a master who could meditate on Taoism. In addition to learning Taoism, he and Chen Tuan also acquired medical skills, which made it easier to travel around the world.

Chen Tuan also knew his disciple's ideals and ambitions, so he left him in Bianjing.

"I have just received news that the black-clad Caliphate has agreed to build a Taoist temple in Baghdad. I need someone to go to a foreign country to be the temple master and responsible for Taoist affairs in the West. After thinking about it, the Taoist priest is the most suitable one. I just don't know.

What do you think?"

Fan Hua bowed and said: "Your Majesty, it is my duty to serve the imperial court. However, the imperial court has been fighting for years and the Western Region has just been obtained. So I want to get rich in black clothes. Is it too impatient?"

This Taoist priest with a celestial spirit was very down-to-earth in his speech. He did not mention anything about promoting Taoism at all. He only talked about seeking to get rich in black clothes.

Luo Youdu did not hide anything and said: "The Taoist priest knows me, but he doesn't know me. I have the aspirations of Emperor Qin and Han Dynasty, but I also have the love of the people of Wenjing and Shizong. If there hadn't been a great change in the West, I would not be able to survive within ten years."

We plan to launch troops in the west, and the Taoist priest is only going to be a pioneer for the imperial court."

Looking at Fan Hua's questioning eyes, Luo Youdu chuckled and said: "In the past, the disputes among the seven kingdoms and the turmoil in other countries continued for years. It was the First Emperor who used great courage to push the cars to the same track, the books to the same text, the deeds to the same theme, the land to the same region, and the measurement to the same level.

The same balance and the same shape of coins give me the idea of ​​unifying China. Going west, there are not only Dashi, but also Rome, Frank, and even the British Islands controlled by the Anglo-Saxons. The distance is far beyond imagination.

.”

Fan Hua did not doubt it, but rather yearned for it.

This is also the growth of horizons brought about by the development of Dayu culture.

After years of development, the imperial newspaper has also been further improved and divided into several categories, including those that record world history.

In this era, the Asian, European and African continents have basically been explored...

Dayu's land and sea caravans have been communicating with Western caravans for a long time, and they have a certain understanding of the conditions in various countries. They also know the situation in the West from their mouths, and understand the vastness of the world.

"What does the poor Taoist need to do?"

Luo Youdu said leisurely: "There is nothing to do, and there is nothing that can be done. The Taoist priest only needs to establish a good relationship with my future caliph who will pass on the Great Food Law of Han Dynasty and those nobles..."

Although Black Clothes Dashi compromised due to the pressure from the Catholic Church, it was impossible to cause any disturbance under the eyes of others.

All Fan Hua needs to do is to let the nobles in black clothes and big food understand Taoist culture, and when the time comes, the nobles in big food can seamlessly accept Eastern culture.

As the Great Eclipse in Black looms, most of the nobles in Baghdad are in a state of intoxication, and the caliph is treated like a puppet. These people have a lofty status, but do not have decent power in their hands. These people are often the most pragmatic. As long as they maintain their virtual status, the Great Eclipse

What difference does it make whether the Dharma is Western or Chinese?

Fan Hua also understood what Luo Youdu meant, and the Confucian blood in his body gradually boiled. He bowed and said: "I am willing to go!"

After deciding on this matter, Luo Youdu stretched himself greatly and felt particularly comfortable. At this point, it was time to slow down and let the people truly rest.

After handling the last memorial in his hand, Luo Youdu went to the harem. He wanted to see his children, but he learned that Luo Kangrui had gone to Xiyuan to race horses with his younger brothers and sisters.

Luo Youdu smiled slightly and went to Fu Qing'er's palace.

Fu Qing'er also knew Luo Kangrui's whereabouts and couldn't help complaining: "This Ziwei Palace is too big. If you don't pay attention, the little guys will disappear."

Luo Kangrui looked at his beloved wife who was becoming more and more graceful, smiled and stepped forward to hug her, and said: "We are all children. It is their nature to be active. It is normal to play together, but Chou Chou is watching."

Regarding the education of his sons and daughters, Luo Youdu did not do what was done in history. Each prince arranged a special tutor for them to provide one-on-one education. He built a school directly in the imperial city and taught them to follow the imperial court.

Let’s study and study together.

The brothers and sisters usually live together. As the eldest son, Luo Kangrui also has the task of teaching and taking care of his younger siblings.

When younger siblings make mistakes, Luo Youdu punishes his eldest brother Luo Kangrui first, and then punishes the offender.

Therefore, the most naughty Luo Ningsong and Luo Ningbai are not afraid of their father Luo Youdu, but their eldest brother Luo Kangrui...

Luo Youdu's state affairs were very heavy and he couldn't take care of many things at the same time. He was also his precious son, so he would not be willing to take heavy action unless it was a serious mistake.

Luo Kangrui had no scruples. It was only natural for his elder brother to beat his younger brother.

They spend more time together as brothers than they do with their father, Luo Youdu, and their relationship is naturally close...

Compared to brothers fighting or raising the Gu clan to grow, Luo Youdu is still very satisfied with the current situation.

"Just spoil them!"

Fu Qing'er said angrily.

Luo Youdu smiled and didn't say anything. Instead, he kissed Fu Qing'er's earlobe, which was an obvious hint.

In broad daylight, a trace of red appeared on Fu Qing'er's face, and she said angrily: "There is something else, and you don't care about it. Sister Zhou is going to die because of my little sister."

Luo Youdu said: "It will be fine after a while..." He squinted his eyes and pushed Fu Qing'er into the house.

As the war in the west came to an end, Dayu's territory officially surpassed the peak of the Han and Tang Dynasties, starting from the Japanese Kingdom in the east, the Haidong Peninsula, Samarkand in the west, Bao Mobei Grassland in the north, Lake Baikal, and Jiaozhi Linyi in the south. The East China Sea, and the South China Sea

They are all under the control of the Dayu battleship. The same is true for the North Sea, but the weather there is freezing and not suitable for human habitation. The reefs and glaciers are full of dangers. But among the brave people in the northeast, many are already wearing cotton-padded jackets.

I drove a fishing boat to visit and returned with a full load, which laid a certain foundation.

Luo Youdu's plan to suspend the army for ten years did not come true. Four years after signing the contract with Black Clothes Dashi, war broke out in the Hehuang area.

In the fourteenth year of Yongjing's reign, Tubo invaded Hehuang and were defeated by Brother Yelvxiu, which aroused great excitement among the people.

After having been at ease for a long time, suddenly there were robbers and thieves making trouble and invading the country. Naturally, the civil and military officials in the temple could not tolerate it.

In fact, this is not without reason. The momentum of Dayu surpassed that of Han and Tang Dynasties, but Tubo was lingering on. Logically speaking, even if they had ten courages, they would not dare to act recklessly.

The key to the problem lies with Brother Yelvxiu.

Relying on his achievements in the Western Regions, Brother Yelvxiu was promoted to the governor of Hehuang, becoming the fourth governor of the Dayu court after Pan Mei, Li Chuyun, and Cao Bin. When this appointment was issued, it caused a lot of turmoil. Pan Mei, Li Chuyun,

Cao Bin is the most respected person in Luo Youdu's direct lineage, so it is understandable to serve as the governor. But brother Yelu Xiu is only a reduced general...

Luo Youdu's move also told people all over the world that as long as they have the ability, there is a possibility of promotion.

At that time, someone wrote a letter to remind the local government of the accident in Anlushan...

Luo Youdu said bluntly: "The case of Anlu Mountain cannot daunt the hearts of loyal ministers in the world."

He said this, but in fact he had learned the lesson of An Lushan. Whether it was Pan Mei, Li Chuyun, or Cao Bin, he did not give them vital financial rights and grain rights, let alone let them command the entire country.

One-third or even half of the country’s military power, let alone Brother Yelvxiu...

Brother Yelvxiu received such a great favor and became even more diligent.

This governor, who was more like a Confucian general than the people from the Central Plains, established more laws when governing Hehuang, encouraged farming and mulberry cultivation, and cultivated military equipment. With the pacification of the Western Regions, Dayu signed a trade agreement with the black-clothed food, and the Silk Road

The road was completely developed, the Hehuang land became more prosperous, and a general with both civil and military skills like Brother Yelvxiu was in charge, and the border was greatly regulated.

On the other hand, neighboring Tubo was experiencing internal turmoil and wars. On one side, there was peace and prosperity, and on the other side, there was war. The Tibetan refugees who had suffered so much began to migrate to the Hehuang land and flee.

Brother Yelvxiu arranged them properly, either in farming or animal husbandry, and allowed them to settle down in Hehuang.

Yelvxiu's reputation for benevolence and righteousness was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there was an endless stream of imitators.

Finally, the Tibetan nobleman Ni Daoning was angered and wanted to teach the refugees who fled into Hehuang territory a lesson.

Ni Daoning originally did not intend to alarm the Dayu border troops. However, according to the law of rest established by brother Yelvxiu, the soldiers patrolled the border at twelve o'clock, discovered the enemy's traces first, and then attacked decisively.

In June of the fourteenth year of Yongjing's reign, Brother Yelvxiu and Zhe Yuxun's troops attacked Tubo in two groups.

In July, brother Yelvxiu took the land of the bend of the river, and in August, Zhe Yuxun captured Qinghai Lake...

The two men stationed troops separately and made no new moves.

In November, Cao Bin sent troops from Dali, went straight to Luozhe, the capital of Tubo, and surrounded Tubo.

In December, the remaining five princes of Tubo submitted surrender orders one by one.
