Chapter 11 Hint to Recruit After Guan Yin
Lu Wende's words were about changing his sects, but Shi Songzhi did not immediately show his intention to recruit him. He was not long after he became the prime minister at this time. Although the great victory in Xiangyang allowed him to stabilize the prime minister, since Shi Miyuan, he succeeded as prime minister and the position of Privy Councilor, and he was very powerful in military and political power. If he had actual heavy troops in his hands, he would easily be taboo.
But he also knew that in this chaotic autumn, if he had actual military power, he would have more say. Otherwise, no matter how high he was, he was promoted to the highest position of the Grand Tutor and other three dukes. Without military power, there would not be many people below who were really willing to listen to him. He was able to become a prime minister because he had been in Xiangyang for more than ten years before, and had actual political achievements and military power. He had a significant position and influence in the entire Southern Song court. Otherwise, how could he be regarded as the emperor?
Just to obtain the position, he could no longer hold the heavy troops of Xiangyang in his hands. Otherwise, he would be the prime minister and the Privy Councilor, and even with actual military power, he would easily be taboo by the emperor, and the emperor would not be relieved to let him be the prime minister. For the sake of the position, he voluntarily gave up everything that was originally managed by Xiangyang. Now that Lu Wende's achievements in taking the victory in Xiangyang were voluntarily, he was very moved. However, it was difficult to agree on the surface, so as not to fall into the position of the emperor and his opponents in the court to attack him.
But he knew the importance of having actual military power in hand. Although he did not agree clearly, he had a lot of hints in his conversation with Lv Wende afterwards. He even hinted at Yin Zhiping to recruit him.
However, Yin Zhiping did not have the intention of being a prime minister and accompaniment. He came to Lin'an to facilitate missionary preaching, but he wanted to make friends with the ministers in the court. As the prime minister of the dynasty, Shi Songzhi was naturally an extremely important partner for friendship. But this was based on mutual friendship with equal status. He never had the idea of being at his own disciple and working hard for others.
Or these ministers in the court would not take him too much as a mountain Taoist priest who was powerless, but he, who came from later generations, would not care too much about the identity of these people. Even the emperor of the dynasty would not care much about his identity and status. No matter what identity and status these people have, in his heart, they would regard themselves as treating the other party equally.
Moreover, his friendship was convenient for the missionary of the posthumous, but it was not necessary. He would not be forced to come to his head because of his friendship. He would still endure it and not dare to offend him. He had no intention of being intimate, and was not necessary for being intimate, and he was not afraid to offend Shi Songzhi because of this. How could Yin Zhiping respond to him? Shi Songzhi's recruitment was just a hint, so he simply pretended to be confused, pretended not to understand, and ignored him.
Yin Zhi pretended to be confused, but Shi Songzhi couldn't do anything. He didn't make it clear about his recruitment, but he couldn't force the other party to reply. However, he didn't pay much attention to Yin Zhiping and did not have the intention to recruit him. He just did it by the way. At this time, Yin Zhi pretended to be confused and didn't understand. He just said unhappily, "I don't know how to praise you" and then gave up.
It was not that Shi Songzhi was able to achieve such a position without the grace of tolerance. He did not pay much attention to Yin Zhiping, a martial artist. After cursing in displeasure, he was too lazy to make more conspiracy.
In fact, he was thinking about calculating, but he didn't dare to be too calculating. This man could kill his commander Kublai Khan in a hundred thousand Mongolian army. No matter how true or false it was, he must have extremely high martial arts skills. He had contacted these martial artists in the world before, and he really had a person who "did blood splash five steps if he disagrees with one word". If he really had too much calculating, he was resentful by the other party and drew his sword to kill him in anger, he wouldn't sleep well at night. Since he had not made it clear, he wouldn't mention it. When the lower side was not changed, he still talked to the two with a smile.
Yin Zhiping was also calm and smiled calmly. He was not afraid of the possibility of offending the prime minister of the current dynasty. Since he had no desire for Shi Songzhi, he naturally was not afraid of offending him. It was good to be able to have a good relationship, but he would not lose any loss.
After chatting, Shi Songzhi drank a glass of wine and suddenly asked Yin Zhiping: "I heard that Master Yin is the descendant of Guan Yinzi, the real person of Wenshi, but I don't know if it is true or false?"
Guan Yinzi, the true man of Wen Shi, was a famous figure in Taoism history who inherited the past and opened up the future. His name was Yin Xi, a figure from the pre-Qin period. Yin Xi was good at watching the stars and watching the spirit. He once made grass on Zhongnan Mountain and watched the stars and watched the spirit on the grass tower every night, and called it Louguan. This was also the name of the later Louguan Taoist School. The ancestor of Louguan Tao was Yin Xi.
Yin Xi once served as the Hangu Pass in the Zhou Dynasty. When he was appointed as the Guan Pass, a certain person looked at the air. Seeing that there was purple air in the east and was about to move west. He knew that a saint was coming, he went to welcome him. Soon Laozi took a green ox to Hangu Pass. Yin Xi welcomed Laozi into the official house and worked as a teacher to ask for advice. He also asked Laozi to write books to benefit future generations. So Laozi wrote five thousand words of the "Tao Te Ching" to teach it, and rode a ox away. After that, Yin Xi resigned from his official position and returned to Louguan to study the Tao according to the scriptures taught by Laozi. Three years later, he realized his wonderfulness. He wrote nine chapters of "Guan Yinzi" and stayed there. Because of his name, Wenshi, he was also called "Wenshijing".
During the Northern Wei, Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Louguan Taoist School was once prosperous. Especially during the Tang Dynasty, the royal family of the Tang Dynasty recognized Laozi as their ancestor and respected Taoism very much. Moreover, when Li Yuan rebelled against the Sui Dynasty, he received support from the Louguan Taoist School. Therefore, after Li Yuan established Tang Dynasty as the emperor, he also gave special favors to Louguan Taoism, and ordered the construction of Louguan palaces and gave ten hectares of land to fill the foundation. Later, emperors of all dynasties also rewarded Louguan Taoism, until the Anshi Rebellion, and Louguan Taoism declined with the Tang Dynasty.
The Louguan Taoist Sect was also built on Mount Zhongnan. Although it declined after the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, some Taoist priests have always been guarding the temple. However, they were unable to gain the honor and favor of the court in the Tang Dynasty, and have always been unknown. The Taoist temple has been disrepaired for a long time and is very devastated. There are not many Taoist priests in the temple, and the incense is deserted.
When Wang Chongyang established the Quanzhen Taoist Sect in Zhongnan Mountain, he started a new mountain. When the Quanzhen Sect was prosperous, the first step was to incorporate the Louguan Taoist, which was also in Zhongnan Mountain, into the Quanzhen Sect, and became another Taoist temple in the Quanzhen Sect in the Zhongnan Mountain except Chongyang Palace. All the original Taoist priests in the Taoist temple were converted into Quanzhen Taoist priests.
Yin Zhiping's current job is a Taoist priest, and he knows very well about Guan Yinzi, the famous Taoist history in Taoism. Especially Yin Xi also lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain and practiced Taoism. Later, the Louguan Taoist Sect, which honored Yin Xi as its ancestor, was also the first Taoist Sect incorporated after the prosperity of the Quanzhen Sect.
As for the rumor that Shi Songzhi asked, to be honest, Yin Zhiping really didn't know which one of his ancestors was. Although both Guan Yin and Yin Xi were surnamed Yin, they might not be a family. The origin of this rumor was actually due to the storytellers in Xiangyang.
In ancient times, one family was very particular about one's origin, and he preferred to recognize celebrities as his ancestors. It seemed that after being a celebrity, he seemed noble. Why did the Tang Dynasty recognize Laozi as his ancestors? This is the reason why the storytellers in Xiangyang have begun to arrange the life stories of Yin Zhenren. In order to find an extraordinary background for Yin Zhenren, the storytellers not only said that he was the reincarnation of Lu Dongbin, but also met Yin Xi, who also had a surname of Yin, saying that he was the descendant of Yin Xi.
After hearing this statement in Xiangyang, Yin Zhiping did not refute it, but instead agreed. The so-called "going to the countryside" is based on customs. Since ancient times, someone came to him, he just recognized it. In the next Lin'an action, he had such an identity as a descendant of Guan Yinzi, which could be considered a value. If Li Tang could recognize me, he could recognize Guan Yinzi, and no one could verify it clearly.
At this time, Shi Songzhi asked, and Yin Zhiping smiled without blushing and said, "I dare not hide anything from the Lord Shi. When I was young, I heard what my ancestors said, that our ancestor was indeed Yin Wenshi. Our ancestors moved out of Tianshui County from the Han Dynasty. Many of them later went on a journey to the Tang Dynasty. They settled in Cangzhou. When my father was my way, they moved to Laizhou."
