Chapter 87: Do this, you can live for hundreds of years
"People have kidnapping, birth, old age, sickness and death. Gods also have kidnapping, life and death." Wukong looked calm, as if he was talking about the kind of things that everyone knows. "For example, in ancient times, there were three emperors and five emperors, all gods, but where are they now? For example, Emperor Ku, has Your Majesty ever heard of any rumors about this god?"
Li Yuan began to think seriously...
"Your Majesty, don't think about it. Emperor Ku has fallen!" Wukong raised his head and looked at the roof blankly, as if he could see the distant fairy world through the roof. "More than a thousand years ago, Emperor Ku fell in the fairy world. This matter is not an amazing secret between the heavens."
Li Yuan's heart was shocked, and his eyes began to become a little strange when he looked at Wukong.
"The things I said are not unaware of. For example, in the Spring and Autumn Period, people built temples for Emperor Ku, but now, does Emperor Ku still have temples?" Wukong lowered his head, "The way of immortals is not something that has nothing to do with mortals!"
"But even if a god dies, he can still live for thousands of years!"
"If your Majesty can guarantee that everything will be done according to what I said in the future, I dare not say that if there are too many, I can also guarantee that you will live for hundreds of years." Wukong smiled slightly, "But I'm afraid that you can't do it."
"What should I do?" Pei Ji, who was standing behind His Majesty Li Yuan, couldn't wait to say, "Your Majesty is rich, what can't you do?"
"Things like living a hundred years old are nothing more than maintaining the three treasures of energy, energy and spirit inside, and training and maintenance of the body outside." Wukong continued, "I will talk about how to exercise and maintain the body first. Let's start with the simplest thing, which is to eat."
"Eat?" Pei Ji continued, "What's the point of eating?"
"Eating one word is very important!" Wukong said seriously, "All diseases in life come from the mouth. If you know how to eat, or if you eat it reasonably, then even ordinary people will be enough to prolong their lives."
"Then I have to hear what I should eat, how should I eat it?" Li Yuan continued.
"One of the methods of eating is nothing more than the word "moderate." Wukong said seriously, "What is meant to be average and balanced, for example, three meals a day, each meal should have a cup of goat milk, and then only about three taels of meat can be eaten every day. It is best to eat chicken and duck meat. However, vegetables should be eaten about one pound, and cereals must be eaten six taels, and salt should not be too much. Drink at least one liter of water a day. Of course, it is best to eat some fresh fruit every day..."
Li Yuan blinked his eyes in surprise and looked at Wukong. You know, he had never seen a monk or Taoist priest tell him about health preservation and other things, and even stipulated how much food he ate every day.
"If Your Majesty can eat according to what I said every day, then the five elements will be balanced and the doctrine of the mean will naturally be achieved." Wukong continued.
"This is simple!" Pei Ji continued, "It can be done."
"This is not finished..." Wukong continued, "If you want to maintain your body, you must maintain a good working and rest period. You must go to bed before Xu hour every day, get up before Shen hour every day, and then do appropriate exercises in the garden, and use necessary methods of practicing qi. For example, the Hua Tuo Five Animals Show passed down from the Han Dynasty is very good."
"This is not difficult!" Pei Ji continued.
"This is the way to strengthen the body. If a person can do exactly what I said, then at least a hundred years old can be expected." Wukong said calmly, "But these are not enough. If you want to live for a long time, you not only need to maintain your body, but also maintain your spirit."
"So how should we maintain this spirit?" Li Yuan continued.
"Those who maintain energy need to be quit. It is best to live alone so that desires do not arise." Wukong calmly raised his hand and bent down a finger. "Those who maintain energy need not be angry, happy, or sad, with a natural expression and a peaceful mind. Those who maintain spirit need to think less and think less, their minds always be as calm as water, and there should be no slight ripples."
""This requirement is too high!" Pei Ji smashed his tongue. "Why do you have to do this?"
"Please look at your Majesty!" Wukong lit a candlestick beside him with his hand, "Your Majesty thinks, how can this lamp not be turned off?"
"Add oil into it!" Li Yuan replied subconsciously.
"The spirit of a person is just like the oil in this oil lamp. Whether it is joy, joy, sorrow, etc., it will be like this..." Wukong reached out to pick the wick, and the flames immediately burst into the sky. "This kind of thing consumes a person's spirit at an extreme, so if you want the lamp to be lit for a long time."
"First of all, it's natural to add fuel to it, but people are not lamps after all, but the spirit of others cannot strengthen themselves. If they are reluctant to integrate, they will suffer losses. So..." Wukong shook his head slightly, "And other than that, that's all."
As he said that, Goku reached out and pressed the wick, and the flames of the lamp immediately became much smaller, leaving only a little blue flame trembling. "Reduce the consumption of lamp oil, that is, try not to consume your energy."
"Although Your Majesty was too worried and used too much in the first half of his life, the loss of energy and spirit is now very serious." Wukong continued, "But as long as Your Majesty can do it strictly according to my words from now on, I guarantee that your Majesty can still have a life span of three or five hundred years."
"Maybe..." Pei Ji continued, "But if you do as you say, what's the point of being a human being?"
"Is this Pei Sikong?" Wukong looked at Pei Ji's face and asked tentatively.
"Not bad!" Pei Ji nodded.
"Pei Sikong, why do you think being a god is more interesting than being a human being?" Wukong asked calmly.
"Immortal, can't you do whatever you want?" Pei Ji thought about it before answering.
"Of course not. If the gods can do whatever they want, then in the chaos of the world, why don't there be gods who directly exert their strength to make the world peaceful again?"
"In ancient times, King Yu controlled the flood..." Pei Ji was stunned for a moment and immediately continued.
"Well, in ancient times, with the ability of King Dayu, he had been treating water for so many years, why?" Wukong continued, "If the gods and immortals can do everything, why didn't he calm the flood immediately with force?"
"..." This time it was not only Pei Ji, but also Li Yuan and Li Gang began to think.
"The gods are not omnipotent." Wukong clasped his hands calmly, "Being a god is not necessarily better than being a human being. Although some gods can live forever, they spend most of their lives doing the same thing. Compared with him, most mortals have much more interesting life than him."
While thinking about Wukong's words, Li Yuan suddenly found that the building was crooked. He originally planned to come to examine Wukong's evil words and confuse the public and discuss the fate of the country, but he didn't know when it turned into an academic theories like Wukong discussing how to live forever.
"Since you said that after I ascended the throne, I have become a god under the faith of all people, why has my body not improved under the faith of all people?" Li Yuan immediately pulled the topic back.
"The power of faith is mysterious and unpredictable. I can only be clear and clear." Wukong said humbly at first, and then said, "But Your Majesty is a rare wise king, so I might as well say something boldly. Your Majesty, do you think that everyone in the world sincerely hopes that Your Majesty will you live a hundred years old?"
Do you still need to ask this? Li Yuan knew it clearly in his heart. Not to mention those old ministers of the Sui Dynasty, even his uneasy sons, he probably wouldn't sincerely hope that he would live a long life.
"No matter what he thinks of His Majesty, they have at least recognized Your Majesty's power. With such thoughts, Your Majesty's power is enough to enthrone the gods. Even if it is an ancient god, if Your Majesty's only ban on his temples, then he will not be far from his death."
Wukong said calmly, "This is why previous emperors cannot live forever, because in the beliefs of the people in the world, they may be surrendering to the majesty of the emperor, or surrendering to the power of the emperor, but whether it is majesty or power, it is not enough to make the people of the world truly love it."
"What did you say!" Li Yuan shook his sleeves and stood up, "I have always governed the world with kindness, filial piety and righteousness. Can't the people in the world love me? They are full of nonsense and speak nonsense!"
"Your Majesty, there are 800,000 people in the entire Chang'an City!" Wukong suddenly said something that Li Yuan didn't understand.
"Yeah, I know, so what."
"How many people are there in the entire Tang Dynasty now? Your Majesty, do you know?" Wukong continued.
Li Yuan really didn't know that because many places are still fighting, even in places where there are no wars, many household registration lists were damaged during the previous wars. For example, when Huangmei County was demolished, the household registration list that should have been divided into four was taken away.
"Of course I know this!" Li Yuan replied coldly, "But it is confidential, why should I tell you?"
"Then please let me guess a little." Wukong continued, "There are more than 800,000 people in Chang'an, and Luoyang is similar to Chang'an. Except for these two places, the population of the fourteen paths in the world may be more than Chang'an, and the fewer may be less than Chang'an. So if all of them are added together, the world now will be at most 16 million."
Li Yuan's eyes shrank for a moment. Although he didn't know the total number, he now had a land of about one million people. He knew it if it was a little more or a little more. As a result, he found that Wukong opened his mouth to these numbers and immediately shocked Li Yuan.
However, Wukong probably has a lot of people, because there are actually not so many people in Lingnan Road and Jiannan Road now. However, at this time of the Tang Dynasty, there is really no difference between counting one million more and counting one million less than counting one million less.
"In addition to the 800,000 people in Chang'an, there are hundreds of thousands of merchants." Wukong continued, "Although these merchants are not from Chang'an, they rely on Chang'an to make a living. There are also some scholars who come to Chang'an to study and plan to become officials. They are also making a living in Chang'an. Your Majesty, do you know how many people in other places can be involved in these people?"
Li Yuan held his hands behind his back and didn't say anything.
"According to the sixth family in Yi Ding's family, if these people are counted as their parents and children, then they are almost three million people." Wukong stretched out four fingers to Li Yuan and then put together three. "To increase the original people of Chang'an, this means that a Chang'an city involves one-quarter of all the people of the Tang Dynasty."
"What are you doing? Are you threatening me?" Li Yuan lowered his head and glared at Wukong.
"Don't dare!" Wukong bowed slightly, "I just want to tell Your Majesty that your Majesty's order to burn Chang'an will affect one-quarter of all the people. Even if these people have no choice but to accept this arrangement under His Majesty's comfort and power, can you still expect these people to sincerely hope that you will live a hundred years old?"
"For the sake of the people of the world!" Wukong leaned forward and held the ground with both hands to bow down. "Your Majesty, you may consider moving the capital, but it is absolutely impossible to burn Chang'an!"
"Your Majesty!" Li Gang, who had not spoken, also bowed slightly beside him, "The matter of burning Chang'an is involved in great trouble, and it is absolutely impossible!"
"Hmph!" Li Yuan shook his sleeves, turned around and walked out the door.
"Your Majesty..." Wukong knelt on the ground and said in a sad voice, "It is absolutely impossible to burn Chang'an in fire!"
"I'm still considering this..." Li Yuan's voice came in from outside the door, "It's not that I've decided."
"The wise and wise are nothing better than Your Majesty!" Li Gang clasped his fists and bowed tremblingly outside the door, "Your Majesty and wise and wise!"
"Hmph!" His Majesty Li Yuan's cold snorting sound came from outside the door again, and then he heard Chang He shout loudly, "Your Majesty gets up and turn back to Tai Chi Palace!"
"Wukong!" His Majesty Li Yuan got back, but Li Gang stayed. Then Li Gang cursed at Wukong with a slight face. "You are a monk, why are you interfering with these things in the court? Do you know, if you have something wrong with you just dealing with, you are now in a different place."
"If you live, you will live; if you die, you will die!" Wukong raised his head and made a quiet smile on his tender face. "If you can exchange it for Chang'an City to avoid the disaster of fire, then please take it as yours."
"Nonsense!" Li Gang pointed at Wukong, "Did you think all the civil and military officials in our court have died? When will a young monk like you need to talk too much..."
"I'm so sorry!" Wukong ignored Li Gang's words and said with a smile, "It's so late today, you're here to come to the palace again. From Wen Ji's famous post to what happened today, Wen Ji's kindness to me really makes it hard to repay me."
"What are you saying!" Li Gang snorted, "It's for the country of the Tang Dynasty and the stability of the country..."
"Yes, yes!" Wukong agreed slightly, then bowed slightly, "Then I will thank Wen Ji Gong for the people of Chang'an City."
"When will it be your turn, a young monk from other places, to replace you in Chang'an City?" Li Gang shook his sleeves and walked out the door.
"I respectfully send you Wen Jigong!" Wukong said loudly inside the door.
"What are you going to give? Just stay in there honestly!" After Li Gang talked about this, he turned around and walked out of the door of Tai Chi Palace. Although he was an old minister, he was not qualified to enter the palace to tell the truth. In other words, from here to the entrance of the palace, Li Gang still had to walk with his legs.
"ye!" After Li Gang left, Wukong secretly made two fingers, and things went smoother than he expected! No matter what, his image as a mysterious little monk must have fallen into His Majesty Li Yuan's heart. Although His Majesty Li Yuan likes Taoism more,...
If everyone understands it, then just go.
I like Taoism for the sake of stability of rule. His Majesty Li Yuan himself has no bald phobia, so he is afraid when he sees those who shaved their heads. As for the other Taoist guys, they will definitely dislike him. Wukong said that there is no duck pear at all!
I have been to Xuanwu Gate for more than a year after speaking. I have no water in my mind. Now I’m going to compete with you!
As long as you can pass the level of His Majesty Li Yuan, then the image of this eminent monk will be established for the time being, and then I will mention Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng each. Then I will take the seal and pat my butt and go back to Huangmei. No matter who dies or who will say that, I won’t have to care about it anymore!
Just when Wukong was feeling proud, Li Gang, who was in the carriage, habitually touched the carriage, and planned to look at it with the light hanging on the wall, and discovered an important thing.
"Ah! My husband's crystal mirror was actually embezzled by His Majesty."
"Pei Jian, this crystal mirror is really magical!" At this time, His Majesty Li Yuan was wearing reading glasses and looking at the memorial in his hand in the candlelight. "I seem to have returned to the time when I was more than ten years ago, and I can see everything clearly."
"Yes!" Pei Ji, who had also tried the crystal mirror just now, nodded, "It's indeed magical. I heard from Wei Zheng that the reason why the Crown Prince sent him to find this little monk Wukong was that such a big deal happened. It is said that he wanted to ask for a crystal mirror for Your Majesty!"
"I know that Jiancheng is filial to this child!" Li Yuan put down the memorial in his hand and said with emotion, "Among my children, Jiancheng is the most kind..."
"You can't say that," Pei Ji continued, "The King of Qin and the King of Qi are also very respectful to Your Majesty."
"Although Yuan Ji is a little straightforward, he has no bad intentions to me." Li Yuan used his reading glasses. After all, this was made for Li Gang. His Majesty Li Yuan was still a little uncomfortable wearing them. A cold light flashed, "As for Shimin, he has been ruined by those who are teachings around him. He is no longer the good son who acted coquettishly in my arms back then."
