Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Li Ke's "not proficient" made the three people here a little confused. What you just said is actually very accurate, but you told me that you are not proficient?And since Li Ke said that he had never met Yuan Tiangang before, then these things would definitely not lie.

"Your Highness, are you joking?" Yuan Tiangang was a little dumbfounded.

Li Chunfeng also looked at Li Ke curiously, while Sun Simiao looked thoughtful.

"Daoist Yuan, I have a question." Li Ke said with a smile.

"Your Highness, please speak."

"When you talk about physiognomy, do you really judge a person's health, life expectancy, future and other information just by looking at a person's face and appearance, without any other information to support it?!" Li Ke asked with a smile asked a question.

Li Ke's question revealed that the three people had different expressions on their faces.

Li Chunfeng was a little stunned, then thoughtful, Yuan Tiangang was taken aback for a moment, then looked a little strange, and Sun Simiao showed a very peaceful smile on his face.

As for Yuan Tiangang's meeting with Wu Zetian.Li Ke didn't ask, because he didn't believe it at all. Even if Wu Zetian was a woman, Yuan Tiangang wouldn't be an idiot. To be able to say something like the co-lord of the world is enough.

Although this incident seems to be recorded in the "New Book of Tang", don't forget that Wu Zetian was an emperor, and she is a woman. If she wants to be an emperor, she must get approval from certain aspects and find evidence for herself. To be able to influence the people of the world, religion is a choice.

Neither the Wu family nor Yuan Tiangang is an important person, and there will be no historian in their family at all, and the reason why the historian can be recorded in history must be what Wu Zetian or the Wu family said later, and at that time Yuan Tiangang had passed away and Yuan Tiangang had passed away. There is nothing incomprehensible about the reputation that has been publicized, and the historian has recorded it.

"Why did Your Highness say that?" Yuan Tiangang looked at Li Ke in surprise and asked.

"I haven't read Taoist books on physiognomy, is Daoist Yuan trustworthy?" Li Ke asked with a smile.

"I believe." Yuan Tiangang nodded.

"As for why I say this, in fact, most of the things in the world can be seen through by looking at the essence through the appearance. The simplest point is that the invention of physiognomy is definitely not for the purpose of letting the priests reveal the secrets of heaven. In fact, it is straightforward One point, Taoism, as a sect, needs believers, and the easiest thing to attract believers is to maintain a sense of mystery.”

"Physiognomy can also be a means to attract believers. Of course, this is my guess." Li Ke said with a smile.

Although what Li Ke said was speculation, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were already stunned when he said this, while Sun Simiao suddenly laughed happily "hahaha".

Sun Daochang laughed heartily a few times, then looked at Yuan Tiangang and asked with a smile: "Yuan Daoyou, would you like to show His Highness a picture?"

Yuan Tiangang paused, then smiled wryly and said, "I really can't see this."

"Haha, Your Highness, have you seen it? When there are certain things that cannot be done, they will often say, "I can't see it. The excuse is that it is either expensive or secret, and it can always be found. Hahahaha." Sun Simiao laughed happily.

Li Ke is also a little helpless. The old Sun laughed a few times, which really explained a problem, that is, people like Sun Simiao have their own persistence in their hearts, and they have been doing something for decades, and they are still very old. Big old man, unless what you do is approved by him, this kind of person is the most difficult for you to convince.

Any speech skills are useless, because the other party has already lived a transparent enough life, and sufficient life experience is enough to make up for all speech skills.

And the reason why some of Li Ke's speech skills are effective for Yuan Tiangang, who is not too young, or someone outside the party, is because Yuan Tiangang is also in the game, he is not really the kind of expert who wants nothing, to put it bluntly , he is not the kind of person who wants to be strong without desires, so he will definitely be affected.

Sun Simiao's laughter embarrassed Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng. Although Sun Simiao was said to be a Taoist priest and they came to pay their respects, Sun Simiao's status as a Taoist priest...is not so pure.

Again, Taoism needs to use Sun Simiao's status of saving people for the world to attract believers, while Sun Simiao needs the status of a Taoist priest to use the power of Taoist temples all over the world to assist him in curing diseases and saving people.

Therefore, Lao Sun's identity is not pure, but Lao Sun lives sufficiently transparently that he doesn't mind others taking advantage of his identity, as long as it can help him save the world.

"How is it, you two? Did His Royal Highness King Qin far exceed your expectations?" Sun Simiao asked with a warm smile on his face, looking at the two with a smile.

"Indeed. In fact, what His Highness said is that in addition to the study of physiognomy, there is also the study of speaking skills, including how to observe the world and use some known information to build an advantage for yourself." Yuan Tiangang sighed and spoke bluntly.

In fact, Yuan Tiangang is also a human being. He knows very well that Li Ke's ability to say such things to the essence of the matter means that those evasive words to ordinary people will definitely not work for Li Ke. Since it doesn't work, it's better to tell the truth.

Taoist priests like him and Li Chunfeng must have a high status in Taoism, and they also shoulder the responsibility of promoting Taoism.

"I can understand. After all, if you are not born, Buddhism will have a great impact on Taoism." Li Ke smiled.

Since ancient times, at home and abroad, the purpose of religion may have been pure at the beginning, but it will never be pure again later.

What Buddhism and Taoism disputes, what Crusades, etc., look at the facts through the beautification of history, and there are bloody truths behind them.

Still those eight words, Xing, the people suffer.death, the people suffer.

Faith is sustenance, there is no problem, but you are no match for people who manipulate beliefs!

Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were speechless again, His Highness...has revealed the essence of the matter again.

"Hahaha, don't worry about the two Taoists. In fact, I have a good sense of Taoism. Because of the different ideas, the harm of Taoism is far less than that of Buddhism." Li Ke said with a smile.

"This..." Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng looked at each other. There are some things that Yuan Tiangang didn't say, why did he come to serve in the Tang court when Li Chunfeng was there, and used some means to promote himself, because, Their Taoism discovered that Buddhism has a tendency to prosper, and once Buddhism prospers, it will inevitably squeeze the living space of Taoism.

The world cannot tolerate two prosperous sects.

Especially when they heard that Xuanzang of Buddhism even went alone to the Western Regions to obtain the so-called Buddhist scriptures, Yuan Tiangang appeared on a mission to show his strangeness in physiognomy in various places, and was summoned by Li Shimin in the eighth year of Zhenguan.

It's fine if Xuanzang doesn't come back, but if he comes back from the Western Regions, after more than ten years of experience, just a little bit of publicity will have a great impact on the people.

In fact, there are already extremely many temples in Chang'an City.

"However, in theory, as a ruler, you don't want any sect to prosper absolutely. As a ruler, you can't believe in any sect. I will tell my father about this." Li Ke said with a smile road.

Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were silent.

"You two don't mind, because you are not involved in production. It's like the reason why I said that you are less harmful is because a lot of knowledge inherited from Taoism is useful, but Buddhism is useless. If Buddhism flourishes, temples in the world will As more and more people become monks, more and more people will become monks. Over time, more and more land will belong to the temple, and it may even happen that the common people farm land for the temple.”

"Because the land rewarded to the temple cannot be planted by the temple's own monks alone, it can only be rented out to the common people."

"After a long time, everyone wants to be a monk. Who wants to be a commoner? How does the country prosper and how does the national power increase? But some of your knowledge of Taoism is different. Your observation of astronomical phenomena is useful, and you can predict some weather information, which is helpful Yu discovered some natural disasters in advance and let the court prevent them in advance."

"So, I need your knowledge." Li Ke said his key point.
