The so-called step-by-step approach is to gradually change some unreasonable systems, laws, and concepts, rather than imposing them on people all at once. Over the years, various privileged ideas have penetrated into people's bones, and many people do not think that their actions have any significance.
No, even those who were harmed by these practices did not feel it was inappropriate. Among all the privileges, the first one Liu Ziqiu wanted to weaken was the imperial power.
Since ancient times, imperial power has been the supreme power, and almost all the military and political power of the entire country has been vested in the emperor. It is precisely because this power is so great and almost unrestrained that it attracts the covetousness of countless people, and the court is constantly changing.
Just like Yang Guang, in order to ascend to the throne, he was able to resort to extremely cruel methods when facing his brothers. Now that Liu Ziqiu has become the emperor, he naturally does not want this to happen to his descendants and be weakened.
With the imperial power, there will be far fewer people who care about it, so this is the first thing Liu Ziqiu needs to do.
This time he left Beijing to tour the country. It seemed that it was not directly related to weakening the imperial power. In fact, it was not the case. This was his step-by-step method. Liu Ziqiu had no special purpose for this tour, but he set a deadline for himself.
That is about half a year. During this half year, all national affairs were decided by the cabinet headed by Wei Zheng, and he almost no longer interfered. As long as all national affairs are running normally during these six months, it means that even without an emperor,
It will not affect the development of the country. At that time, he can legitimately weaken the imperial power. Of course, in order to avoid unexpected incidents, Liu Ziqiu still firmly holds the military power in his hands. However, one day, he will also have the military power
Hand it over.
Of course, Yu Shinan didn't know what Liu Ziqiu was thinking. He just urged Liu Ziqiu to return to Luoyang as soon as possible. In the end, Liu Ziqiu couldn't push him anymore, so he had to order: "Cross the river!"
After crossing the Han River, we were one step closer to Luoyang, and Yu Shinan felt a little relieved. However, Liu Ziqiu still walked slowly, passing through the three counties of Nanyang, Juiyang, and Xiangcheng, and walked for more than two months.
.At this time, Yu Shinan finally saw the light of day, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, after passing Yique Pass, you will reach Luoyang. I requested the order and went to the capital to report to you adults."
But Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said: "No need." Then he turned to Xie Muyu and asked: "Yu'er, you must have enlightened after reading the Buddhist scriptures for many days. A few years ago, I met the Taoist priest of Zen Buddhism in Shaolin Temple.
Master, that string of Buddhist beads was a gift from him. Since we are here today, why don’t you and I take a hike up the mountain to see if we can meet old friends again.”
At the Shaolin Temple, Liu Ziqiu once fought against Dao Xin. The spiritual power exerted by Dao Xin made Liu Ziqiu suffer a little loss, but his martial arts was higher than Dao Xin's, and the two sides were evenly matched. Dao Xin was also because he was not sure of the suppression.
Liu Ziqiu finally took the initiative to stop. Now four years have passed, and Liu Ziqiu has also quietly practiced his spiritual power. Although he has not been able to use it, he came from time-travel, and his spiritual power is stronger than that of ordinary people. Coupled with so many years of persistence,
The unremitting training actually allowed him to figure out some skills. Passing by the Shaolin Temple this time, Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but become ambitious and wanted to compete with Daoxin again.
Although they have not yet officially gotten married, Xie Muyu is already a wife and husband, and she obeys Liu Ziqiu's words. Gao Xiuer knows that Liu Ziqiu, Hua Yun, and Yu Chigong came to the Shaolin Temple together, so she wants to go with her. Tuoba Qianyu and Mu Duo
Li originally believed in Buddhism, so naturally she was not willing to lag behind. So the large group simply left Xiangcheng and went straight to Shaoshi Mountain.
…
When Yang Jian was in power, the imperial court awarded many awards to the Shaolin Temple. Although it was only a temple, it owned thousands of hectares of fertile land. Later, the world continued to be turbulent, and even Luoyang was affected. In order to protect the temple property, the Shaolin Temple organized monk soldiers
.Master Tanzong, whom Liu Ziqiu met outside the temple, has now become the leader of the monk soldiers.
However, the person who greeted Liu Ziqiu outside the temple today was not Master Tanzong or the Zhike monk in the temple, but a young monk about ten years old.
When Liu Ziqiu saw that the young monk looked familiar, he frowned and said, "I seem to have seen you somewhere."
When he arrived here, Liu Ziqiu no longer concealed his identity, even the dragon flag was displayed, and he also changed into a brand new dragon robe.
The young monk clasped his hands together, sang the Buddha's name, and said: "Your Majesty, your nobles forget things a lot, and the young monk is very forbearing."
Liu Ziqiu took a closer look and saw that it was indeed the young monk from back then. He couldn't help but smile and said, "It turns out to be Master Hongren. I wonder where he is?"
It was very strange for a young monk to be called a master by the current emperor. Only Liu Ziqiu knew that this young monk would be the future fifth ancestor of Zen, so he naturally deserved the title of master. What is amazing is how Hongren called this master
He actually accepted it calmly and said: "My master knows that His Majesty is coming and will return today. I ordered the young monk to greet you here respectfully."
Gao Xiu'er didn't believe it was so magical and blurted out: "It's just a mystery!"
Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "Master Daoxin is indeed an extraordinary person."
Before he finished speaking, someone said loudly: "Your Majesty, you really know how to recognize people! I, a poor monk, came late, I hope you will forgive me!"
Liu Ziqiu turned around and saw that it was Daoxin. He secretly thought that this guy would use his own words to praise himself. However, looking at the appearance of Daoxin, it was exactly the same as four years ago. Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He nodded and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years. I admire the great master's ability to maintain good looks. I admire him."
Daoxin heard the ridicule in Liu Ziqiu's words, but he didn't realize it. He nodded and said: "Your Majesty, all female donors, please move to the temple."
Liu Ziqiu recalled the scene when Hong Ren and Tan Zong did not allow Hua Yun to enter the Shaolin Temple. He was stunned and said, "I remember there are rules in the temple that women are not allowed to enter."
Daoxin smiled and said: "This time, that time."
Liu Ziqiu asked: "What's the explanation?"
Daoxin Heshi said: "The Buddha also wants to eat the incense of the human world, how can a poor monk dare to stop you empresses?"
Liu Ziqiu did not expect that even a master like Daoxin would become snobbish, so he despised him.
But I heard Daoxin say again: "Your Majesty is now blessed with the fortune of the whole country, and the poor monk is no longer your Majesty's rival. The competition that your Majesty wants is better avoided."
Only Liu Ziqiu knew that he wanted to compete with Daoxin again, and he never revealed it, but he revealed it. Liu Ziqiu couldn't help but secretly sighed. This guy really has some skills. Today, he should ask him if he can still do it.
Return to the hereafter.
Under the leadership of Hong Ren, everyone walked through the temple and came to the thatched cottage. Four years had passed, and the thatched cottage seemed to have not changed at all. It was not known how the master and the apprentice did it. Liu Ziqiu was secretly surprised.
At that time, Dao Xin gave Gao Xiu'er a salute and said: "The empress is kind by nature, and her mother's love for the world is the nature of all people. I hope she will change in the future and don't disturb her heart."
Gao Xiuer nodded, but didn't understand what he meant. However, she was kind-hearted, and she didn't think she would do anything special, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Xie Muyu couldn't hold it back, and saluted, "Master, I wonder if this little girl has a chance to be a Buddha?"
Daoxin smiled and said: "Your Majesty has already explained what is meant by fate. Why does the female donor need to ask more questions?"
Xie Muyu remembered what Liu Ziqiu had said to her in Tianyin Temple that day, and it suddenly dawned on her. But thinking of Tianyin Temple, she had to think of the experience that night. Although Liu Ziqiu never mentioned it, Xie Muyu was always worried that Wang Bo's words would
It had an impact on Liu Ziqiu. In fact, she had wanted to explain it to Liu Ziqiu for a long time, but she never dared. At this time, seeing that Master Daoxin had magical powers, she couldn't help but ask again: "Master, the little girl has something to think about.
I told Your Majesty that I have concerns, and I would like to ask Master to clear up my doubts."
Daoxin shook his head and said: "Your Majesty has a broad mind, so if you don't say anything, what's the harm?"
When Liu Ziqiu saw that Master Daoxin was almost turning into a fortune teller, he was amused and said, "Master, why don't you take a look at it for my two beloved concubines?"
Daoxin actually nodded, really looked at Tuoba Qianyu, and said: "If something happens in the future, don't blame Your Majesty." Then he said to Mu Duoli: "My queen's archery skills are psychic, and the divine bow will protect her in the future.
The country does not allow men to have eyebrows. As for what the empress wants, life has to happen sometimes, so just be content with the situation."
After hearing Daoxin's words, Tuoba Qianyu's expression suddenly darkened. However, she believed in Buddhism and did not dare to ask more questions. She was just a little depressed. What Mu Duoli wanted in her heart was just to give birth to a child for Liu Ziqiu.
The letter revealed what was on his mind, but she didn't know if it was there or not. Like Tuoba Qianyu, she was a Buddhist and did not dare to ask any more questions.
Liu Ziqiu felt unhappy when he heard that he always mentioned changes, and said in a deep voice: "Master knows the past and the future, why don't you tell me, so that I can seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, and protect all people in the world."
Daoxin sighed: "The secret must not be leaked."
Liu Ziqiu was already somewhere between belief and disbelief regarding such a mysterious thing, so he couldn't help but want to confirm it, and asked: "Does Master know when I can return?"
"Now that you've come, let's live in peace. How can your majesty return?" Daoxiang said that he could know five hundred years in advance and five hundred years in hindsight. However, four years ago, he failed to see through Liu Ziqiu's origins. Now four years have passed.
Although his Taoism has become much deeper, he still can't clearly see Liu Ziqiu's past. However, he can see some general ideas about Liu Ziqiu's future, but he doesn't dare to say it clearly because of the fate.
However, when Dao Xin saw Liu Si Yao standing next to Gao Xiu'er, he was surprised because he couldn't see the child's future clearly. After a long time, Dao Xin finally said: "Something will happen in the future, the little prince."
Maybe there will be some good fortune. Your Majesty's way back may fall on the little prince. The poor monk has shortcomings in Taoism and does not dare to speak nonsense. I hope Your Majesty will not sin!"
People around him couldn't understand what Daoxin said, but Liu Ziqiu, as the person involved, understood it somewhat. He turned his head and glanced at his son, and couldn't help but sigh: "Just leave it to fate."
At this time, Master Tan Zong suddenly came over and said: "Your Majesty, someone from outside the temple came to report that there is a huge emergency in western Liaoning!"
