[The belief in the King of Heaven really took off in the Tang Dynasty during the reign of Xuanzong.

According to later records, it probably means that in the first year of Tianbao, military information came from Anxi and the Tibetan army besieged the city.

But 12,000 miles from Chang'an to Anxi, there were eminent monks who taught Xuanzong's methods and invited gods to defeat the Tang Dynasty's enemies.

The eminent monk's magic power was so strong that the Tubo army surrounding Anxi was dizzy by the strong wind, and their weapons and armor were bitten by the "golden rats" to pieces, and they retreated in fear.

When the Anxi army saw that the enemy army was defeated, they rushed out. As a result, King Bishamont appeared halfway and forbade killing.

This is also quite a classic legend. After all, Anxi is 12,000 miles away from the mainland, and no one would be too busy to verify the authenticity.

King Bishamon had a good nature and forbade killing, so the Anzai army did not capture anything, which was very reasonable.

In short, the belief in this heavenly king was completely popular. During the Kaiyuan period, there were images of this heavenly king on city gates, towers, military flags, and streets and alleys.

On the other hand, thanks to Li Jing's record, just as it is impossible to explain why Li Shimin is so fierce, Li Jing cannot be explained either.

What if Li Jing is a god himself? Does it suddenly make sense? At the end of the Tang Dynasty, there was a legend about Li Jing acting as the Dragon King to spread clouds and spread rain.

In the Song Dynasty, the performance of the Song Dynasty against foreign enemies was so poor that the people saw it and became anxious, so they began to hold sacrifices to famous generals.

The emperor of the Song Dynasty also understood very well. Just like Guan Yu, Li Jing was also granted the title of King Lingxian, King Zhonglie, etc., and temples were built to offer sacrifices.

At this time, Buddhism experienced the eradication of Buddhism by Wuzong and the turbulent times of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. Buddhist faith had declined, so under the influence of intentional or unintentional promotion, King Bishamon began to overlap with Li Jing.

By the Yuan Dynasty, there were already records of "Bishamon King Li Jing" and "Bishamon King Li Jing". In the Ming Dynasty, these two images were separated again, and the King "Bishamon" at that time was already similar to what we see now.

The image of King Bishamon in the Tang Dynasty was holding a halberd in one hand and a pagoda in the other. Li Jing took the pagoda with him when he separated from his image.

Later, the common people felt that the halberd in your hand was too murderous, so they replaced the halberd with an umbrella, which meant that the weather would be smooth and the weather was smooth. They also gave it a new name, the Sea of ​​Demonic Ceremonies, which is the familiar Four Sea. Mahadeva.

In Hindu legends, King Bishamon had ninety-one sons, of which only the second son Dujian and the third son Nezha are recorded.

Li Jing's image separated and took away King Bishamon's third son.

The prototype of the eldest son is the Buddhist King Jun Tali Ming. Some classics write him as Jun Zha Li Ming Wang, and finally he is referred to as Jun Zha.

The prototype of the second son was a disciple of Puguangwang Temple in the Song Dynasty, named Mucha.

So the three sons of Li Jing, the king of Tota, were formed: Jun Zha, Mu Cha and Nezha, and eventually evolved into Jin Zha, Mu Zha and Nezha.

It can be said that Li Weigong also won the lottery in mythology. Not only did he take away King Bishamonten's magic weapon and son, but he eventually became King Bishamonten's boss, which is outrageous enough. 】

"The words of gods and ghosts can be...so complicated."

Fang Xuanling only felt that her horizons had been opened.

On the other hand, Li Jing was slightly silent. He didn't think he was that powerful. Instead, he felt a little sad for Song:

"Sit peacefully in the clay-embroidered wood-plastic temple and receive the incense from the people."

"A capable minister and a good general have no way of serving the country when they die unjustly in prison."

"How ironic."

Li Shimin laughed with his left and right people and said:

"I have rarely encountered any opponents in my battles in the world, but I have been blessed by the gods."

"If I had been defeated by Dou Jiande, then the one blessed by the god would have been Dou Jiande, right?"

In comparison, he agreed more with Li Jing's words.

The only thing that can deal with foreign enemies is the sword in your hand. What's the use of believing in gods and Buddhas?

Then Yang Guang also received the Bodhisattva precepts, was called the Bodhisattva, and was conferred the title of "Wise Man". But in the end, wasn't he overturned?

Oh, yes, and that Xiao Yan...

In short, after just a brief reflection, Li Shimin felt that if Buddhism was left unchecked, it would indeed be a big problem.

After all, he still had an impression of the Indian caste mentioned by Guangmu before.

The upper surname is as noble as a god, and the lower surname is as humble as a pig or dog. How can we return to the Buddhist kingdom?

Shaking his head in his heart, Li Shimin just warned himself to be cautious when it comes to Buddhist matters in the future.

Or... Li Shimin had an idea in his mind and was eager to try:

Instead of waiting for this Buddhist nonsense after your death, why not take charge of it directly now and set up a Buddhist department?

But other than that, the story seems to be extremely interesting.

It’s not as far-fetched as Li Shimin thought. Li 𪟝’s thought was extremely simple:

"I don't ask for incense and sacrifice. It would be nice to be named a god and laugh at myself."

After all, according to His Majesty's current attitude, it is almost certain that he has a position in the Martial Temple, and the only thing that is fought over is where he is ranked.

Before, Li 𪟝 was sitting on the back and looking at the top three, but now that he knew the posture of the God of War, which was praised by later generations, he instantly felt that it was not impossible to sit on the second and look at the first.

After all, there is no second place in literature and martial arts.

Li Jing didn't say anything, but he was thinking about whether he should teach Su Dingfang how to suppress Li Jing's arrogance?

After all, the two of them were quite difficult to deal with, and Su Dingfang also had the appearance of a famous general, so he was worthy of his reputation.

And... Li Jing turned to look at Wang Xuance who was sitting on the pony:

Maybe he’s also a good seedling?

Zhang Fei clicked his tongue:

"Good guy, the second brother is just a god on his own."

"It's better for Mr. Li Weigong. He just relied on robbing."

"But this Song..."

Zhang Fei also began to complain about General Yue:

"There are evil enemies outside who are knocking on your doorstep. Instead of conferring brave generals, you can confer ghosts and gods?"

"After all, it only costs a small amount to seal a false name."

Pang Tong said with a smile:

"But if you want to make a general, fight a war, the soldiers need to be appeased, the general needs to give rewards, and the food and fodder need to be arranged, the battle may still be lost."

"How can it be more cost-effective than calling me brother and nephew to buy peace with annual coins?"

As a military advisor in charge of the front line, Pang Tong now understands the power of science very well.

The stray horses used to transport grain and grass and can also raid Xiangfan changed the balance of Jingzhou and Xiangfan's combat power. The giant boat that descended to the fortress in seven days, as well as this year's bumper harvest, stabilized the people of Jingzhou.

These are the best manifestations of the scientific craftsmanship.

As a result, this Song Dynasty had such great skills, but was so ugly that Pang Tong wished he could replace him with his own body.

This idea is exactly the same as Liu Bei:

Song, do you know how much I envy your background?

Looking at the achievements of the Song Dynasty, it is like seeing the lord content with his lackeys in a cockfight, or seeing General Yun Chang willing to sell mung beans, and he is so angry that he will not fight.

Kong Ming, who was on the side, felt a little uninterested for a while when Emperor Song didn't reply.

After Zhang Fei sighed, he stared at the military advisor:

"Later generations have respected military advisors for thousands of years. Why not make military advisors a god?"

Pang Tong laughed, he understood this very clearly:

"Because the people don't understand everything about the battle formation, he will stay far away from the people. He will become a god by keeping a respectful distance."

"Kongming built water conservancy, ordered brocade weaving, and reformed salt production. Which of them is not closely related to the people?"

"As a human being, it is natural for me to stay in this world."

There is still a meeting to be held in the evening, so I only have 2K left, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
