"The major affairs of the country are in sacrifice and military affairs." This is a saying in "Zuo Zhuan", which was found in the thirteenth year of Duke Cheng, and was derived from a remark from Liu Kanggong.

The cause of the incident was that the Duke of Jin wanted to attack Qin and sent a special envoy, Queqi to borrow troops from Duke Cheng of Lu. However, this person, Queqi was not respectful and polite enough in his actions, so he was criticized by Meng Xianzi.

Meng Xianzi was a senior deputy of Duke Cheng of Lu. When he encountered important matters such as worshipping the King of Zhou, he would always go with him.

Meng Xianzi criticized Queji and said: "Etiquette is the body's stem; respect is the foundation of the body; Queji has no foundation. Moreover, the ancestors of the ancestors were ordered to seek a teacher, and to protect the country, but to be lazy, and to abandon the king's order. What is it if you don't lose it?"

This is equivalent to saying that Que's impoliteness and disrespect is to let down the king's orders, which is tantamount to seeking death.

Because in Meng's view, etiquette is equivalent to the torso of a person, and respect is the place where a person stands. Being polite and disrespect will lead to no foothold.

What's more, this special envoy, Queqi, is the son of Duke Jing of Jin, and now he is the son of Duke Li of Jin, the son of Duke Jing, and is the "Siqing". His status is not unrestrained. The more prominent an official is, the more serious the consequences will be.

In March of the same year, Duke Cheng of Lu and Duke of Jin worshipped King Jian of Zhou, and joined forces with Duke Kang of Liu. Duke Cheng Su was preparing to attack Qin together, Duke Cheng Su received sacrifices in the temple and also had disrespectful behavior, which aroused Duke Liu Kang of strong dissatisfaction, and he made a big talk: "I heard that the people are born in heaven and earth for life, which is the so-called fate; therefore, there is action, etiquette, righteousness, and dignity to determine destiny; those who can raise their blessings, while those who cannot fail to defeat them will bring disaster. Therefore, a gentleman is diligent in etiquette, and villains do their best. The diligent in etiquette is more important than to pay tribute, and the hard work is more important than to be honest; respect is nourishing the spirit, and the firmness is more important in maintaining career; the major affairs of the country are in worship and Rong, and the sacrificial affairs of the country are held in worship and Rong, and the great integrity of the gods are the great integrity of the gods; now Cheng Zi is lazy and abandons his destiny, but he will not rebel." This famous line of discussion is "The major affairs of the country are in worship and Rong."

"Sacrifice" means sacrificial activities. In this era, it is for sacrificial rituals, and the rituals are solemn and grand.

"Rong" is a military action and is a strategic measure that a country has to take.

Both are "major issues of the country", so once these two matters are involved, you must be rigorous and cautious.

Specifically, at least the etiquette link of "respect" must be maintained. Therefore, Liu Kanggong's criticism of Cheng Su Gong and Meng Xianzi's accusations against Que Qi mentioned above all refer to "respect" to the principle of "respect" and "inappropriate".

When he went to war, "receiving sacrificial things" was "the great ritual of the gods". The disrespectful behavior was not in line with the military rules and was contrary to the rituals of sacrifice. The two major events of "sacrificial and military affairs" were destroyed by the disrespect of this Cheng Su Duke.

In fact, there are many cases of war in "Zuo Zhuan", which are all caused by the rudeness and disrespect between countries, which constitute the fuse of war.

For example, in the second year of Duke Huan, "In the seventh month of autumn, the marquis of Qi came to pay tribute, and Qi returned, and then planned to attack him." In September of the same year, "In the twelfth year of Duke Xuan, Pan Dang said: "In ancient times, the king attacked the disrespectful king, and took his whales and salamanders and sealed them, which was a great killing, so there was Jingguan to punish the debauchery." In the second year of Duke Cheng, "The Duke of Jin sent Gong Shuo to present Qi to Zhou, but the king did not see him, so he sent Duke Shan Xiang to resign, saying, "The barbarians and Rongdi did not entrust the king's orders, and they were addicted to the debauchery. The king ordered him to attack him, and then he offered victory. The king personally received it and worked hard on him, so he punished the disrespectfulness and encouraged merits." In the sixth year of Duke Ding, Fan Xianzi said to Duke Jin, "I ordered the king to go across the border and sent him, but I did not drink privately. If I did not respect the two kings, I must not refuse to pay."

From this we can see that "sacrificial affairs of the country" are not only directly related to respect when "sacrificial", but also often concerns whether there is respect.

Disrespect in interactions between countries can easily lead to evil in relationships, and even to extremes, and they still do not think about turning around and cannot bear it anymore, so they have to fight each other. This is a great disrespect. "The Book of Rites: Quli" says: "Don't be disrespectful, just like thinking, keep calm and speak calmly, and be at peace with the people." Then "respect" is "respectful". In small, it can make a person's body and mind comfortable, in middle, it can make the family harmonious, and in large, it can make the country and the people safe. How can it be empty? How can it be empty?

"Who is the priest?"

"In the pre-Qin period, Li Bing and his son built Jiangyan to irrigate fertile fields in Shu. Later generations commemorated it and built Erlang Temples in various places, which were mostly magical. Originally, there was Erlang Temple outside Mianzhu City, but it was destroyed because of the attack and siege. It was better to rebuild it." Li Huan said.

Erlang Shen is an important god in folk beliefs. In the long historical evolution, different Erlang Shens were produced, such as Li Bing's second son, Zhao Yu, Yang Jian, etc. Yang Yi knew that many experts in later generations had conducted detailed research on it.

The evolution of Erlang Shen was originally only circulated among the people and admired by Shu. The song "Jiaofang Ji" that was circulated later in the song "Erlang Shen" was called "Erlang Shen". This shows that at least in the Tang Dynasty, the god named Erlang Shen had already appeared and spread throughout the world.

Later, in the Song Dynasty, Wu Zimu's "Dongdu Suichao Temple" Volume 14 of "Dongdu Suichao Temple" recorded: "Erlang Shen is the True Lord Qingyuan"; "Erlang Temple" Article "Sheng Shrine" Volume 73 of "Xianchun Lin'an Zhi" Volume 73 of "Shengs and Sacrifices" recorded: "In Guanxiang, it was established in the first year of Shaoxing, the old record said that there was a temple in Tokyo, which was the True Lord Qingyuan." This means that in the Song Dynasty, there was a saying that Erlang Shen was the True Lord Qingyuan.

There are different opinions on who Erlang Shen was in each period. In the Tang Dynasty hundreds of years later, the origin of Erlang Shen's belief was related to Dujian, the second son of the Visarist Heavenly King of the Tang Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, the belief in the Visarist Heavenly King was very popular in the world, and the second son Dujian was also respected by people.

In fact, the earlier book "Shui Jing Notes" quoted the story of Li Bing fighting with the God of Water in "Customers and Common Meanings", but Li Bing's second son did not appear.

The earliest record of Li Bing's second son appeared in the Song Dynasty's "Song Huiyao Langjun Temple", which was the official revision of this dynasty in the Song Dynasty, and later generations called it "Song Huiyao".

"Huiyao" is a historical book in the category of political books. It is a historical work that specifically records the rules and regulations of a generation. Later, the Yongle Encyclopedia included it completely, which records: "The second son of King Yinghui, Guangde Temple in Yongkang, was the second son of King Guangji, Zhaoyongkang Army, Guangji, Wangshen, was specially appointed as the Marquis of Linghui, and sent an official to pay tribute to the emperor. The god was the second son of Li Bing, and the Sichuan native named Wang Lingying, and was ordered to go to the king in the seventh year of Kaibao."

This shows that Li Erlang had been named king before this, so it can be inferred that Li Erlang's beliefs should have matured during the Five Dynasties.

The title of "Erlang Shen" in "Song Huiyao Collection" records: "In the third year of Qiande of Song Dynasty, Taizu of Song Dynasty, he ordered to add the temple of Li Bing, the spirit of the spirit of the Daojiang County. The temple was completed in the fifth year of Kaibao, and the name was changed in the seventh year, and the sacrifice was once a year. There was a temple next to the temple, which was built by the god of Danjingshan. The name of his fake name was removed. In the third year of Emperor Zhenzong, the judge of the army was in charge of the gifts. The temple was destroyed and was decorated. Bing, the time of King Xiao of Qin, was the governor of Shu County. It was passed down from Wenshan to the riverside, and the Pi River flowed down to sail and irrigated three counties and opened rice fields. It was made into stone rhinestones and stone people to satisfy the water monsters. Over the years, Shu people have been virtuous and paid tribute to the emperor. The fake Shu was named Da'an King, and Meng Chang was also called Ying.

The Holy Spirit King. In the eighth year of Jiayou of Renzong, he was granted the title of Marquis of Lingying. The god was the second son of Li Bing, and the Sichuan native was named King Lingying of Huguo. In July of the second year of Yuanyou of Zhezong, Zhezong was granted the title of Duke Yinggan (one in Longxing Prefecture); in the second year of Chongning of Huizong, he was granted the title of King Zhaohui Lingxian; in October of the first year of Zhenghe, he was granted the title of King Yinghui of the Temple. In February of the third year of Chongde, he was granted the title of Mrs. Zhangshu in September, and in August of the eighth year of Zhenghe, he was granted the title of Mrs. Zhangshun; in September of the third year of Xuanhe, he was granted the title of Mrs. Zhangshun. In the temple, Guosheren was granted the title of Marquis of Weiji. In September of the 27th year of Shaoxing, Yinghui of King Guangyou of Yinghui; in Hanzhou, he was granted the title of Duke Zhaoying of the fourth year of Qiandao of Xiaozong."

Zhu Xi's Volume 3: "The Erlang Temple in Guankou, Sichuan was originally built by Li Bing because of his merits in opening the city of Li Dui. Now many monsters have appeared, and they are his second sons. They were first named king, but later Huizong likes to be a Taoist, saying that he is a true lord, so he changed his title to a true lord..."

Many historical materials in the Song Dynasty showed that Erlang Shen referred to Li Bing's second son. In the early Southern Song Dynasty, Liu Zongyuan's "Longcheng Lu" appeared again in "Dragon City Record", but did not state that Zhao Yu was "Erlang Shen", but only said that Zhao Yu's temple was filled with food in Jiangkou, which provided a basis for Zhao Yu to become "Erlang Shen" in the Yuan Dynasty.

Later, Volume 34 of "History of Yuan Dynasty": "In the first year of Zhishun... Li Bing, the prefect of Qin Shu County, was appointed as the King of Shengde Guangyu Yinghui, and his son Erlang Shen was the King of Hei Lie Zhao Huiling Xianrenyu."

In the Yuan Dynasty, Qin Zijin's "Newly compiled Lianxiang Soushen Guangji" "The True Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao" appeared in the article "Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun" by Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty: In the dynasty of Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty, the emperor sent Zhang Guaiya to Sichuan to govern him. The emperor went to the temple and asked for help from the gods. After defeating him, he submitted a request to the court, and pursued the holy name "Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun".

In the Yuan and Ming scattered dramas, Erlang Shen is Zhao Yu, the true king of Miaodao in Qingyuan; such as "Erlang Shen Drunken Shooting the Magic Mirror": I am the city god of the fifty-four prefectures, three thousand miles away. My god's surname is Zhao Yu, and his name is Congdao. When I was young, my god was the prefect of Jiazhou. There is Leng, Yuan Erhe, and there is a healthy dragon in Henei, which stirs up wind and waves and harms the people. The elders of Jiazhou informed me of my god. I personally entered the water with a sword, stabbed his healthy dragon, held the head of the Jianjiao in the left hand, and walked out of the water with a sword in the right hand. I saw seven people bowing to the ground. This is the seven saints of Meishan. My god killed himself, took the seven saints of Meishan, and rode a white horse and ascended in the daytime. The people of Guanjiang established a temple with my god. According to the heavenly talisman, the Jade Emperor ordered me to be the position of Erlang in Guanjiangkou, Qingyuan Miaodao in Qingyuan. The Jade Emperor ordered me to guard Xichuan.

Erlang Shen in the Yuan Dynasty continued the two statements of Li Bing's second son and Zhao Yu in the Song Dynasty. Erlang Shen, officially recognized in the Yuan Dynasty, was Li Bing's second son, but due to the widespread influence of the Yuan Dynasty zaju, Zhao Yu's theory was more popular. The reason why Erlang Shen was transformed from Li Bing's second son to Zhao Yu was related to the political environment, because the Guankou God in the Five Dynasties was once regarded as a "protecting the country" god by Shu people. After entering the Song Dynasty, due to Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun's rebellion, he was once banned and replaced by Zitong God in Sichuan or Zhao Yu, and finally restored to the sacrifice.

Of course, Erlang Shen also has the most famous Yang Jian said; this is the 40th chapter of Xu Zhonglin's "The Romance of the Gods" in the Ming Dynasty, "The Four Heavenly Kings Meet Bing Linggong": Yang Jian once practiced the Nine-Turn Yuangong, seventy-two changes, infinite wonderful Tao, and became a saint in the body, and sealed the true king of the wonderful Tao in Qingyuan.

In the sixth chapter of Wu Cheng'en of the Ming Dynasty, "Journey to the West" "Guanyin's visit to the meeting to ask the reason, the little saint gave power to surrender the great saint": The Bodhisattva said: "Your Majesty ordered his nephew to show the sage of the sage Erlang, who now lives in Guanjiangkou, Guanzhou, and enjoy the incense below. He used to kill six monsters, and had the Meishan brothers and a thousand two hundred grass-headed gods in front of the tent, with great magical powers. He was tall and did not recognize the family members of the heavens, and his nature was arrogant and returned to the gods to live in Guanjiang. Zhaohui, the heroic spirit of the Chicheng, manifested the boundless Erlang. Zhaohui, the god of the heavens, the great sage of the heavens, this man was tall and bullied the enemy the Monkey King, and that face suppressed the true beams and Dong.

Erlang Shen in "Journey to the West" combines the factors of Li Bing's second son and Zhao Yu. For example, "Chengcheng" is the title given to Zhao Yu by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang in "Longchenglu", and "Zhaohui" is the title given to Li Erlang by Emperor Huizong of Song. Erlang Shen and the Great Saint fighting method came from the Yuan and Ming zaju drama "Erlang Shen Locking the Great Saint of the Heaven".

Of course, at this time, the legendary Erlang Shen in Shu was still Li Erlang, which was what Yang Yi hoped. The position of heaven and earth is limited. If she can occupy it as soon as possible, she will occupy it as soon as possible. If she presides over Erlang Shen’s revival at this time, then this Heavenly War God will become a member of her own people.

Just like Emperor Guan Sheng, Yang Yi had such a big advantage in the previous world, so why did he have to stick to the path of kingdom? It was naturally to conquer Guan Yu's heart and thus gain an advantage in the future heaven.

"How many days will it take to rebuild, how much will it cost?" Yang Yi asked considerately. Yang Yi naturally would not stop the Erlang Temple.

"Your Highness, the people all hope to build it, and they will actively participate. In addition, there are bricks, woods and stones. It only takes three days to build a new temple. It was exactly twenty-five at that time. Your Highness can lead the soldiers and civilians to sacrifice it."

"You are right, just do it as you do. You have been taking care of everything in order these days. Thank you for your hard work." Yang Yi nodded and said, "If you don't say it, I still can't imagine that you are a hero of my Han family."

He said again: "Now, the army has been practicing for a long time, so I have to relax. I will send representatives from the army to bring food back to my hometown to visit each family. I'll ask you all these."

"Your Highness, don't worry, I have already arranged everything." Li Huan kowtowed and said, "This is the duty of the subordinates."

Yang Yi was resolute and since he decided, he would do it immediately. He summoned the entire army. After a moment, more than 1,200 people were lined up in the open space, and the two lieutenants were led by them.

"You have worked hard in the army these days. Now the New Year is approaching. Although you can't wait for everyone to return home in order to defend against thieves, you can entrust people from the same ethnic group to return home with the New Year gift."

"I'll send you a pound of meat, ten kilograms of rice, and ten kilograms of noodles for each person. Choose those who are excellent in training and return home. Those who return will send them all back and do not be greedy."

"Other people who stay in the military camp only practice once during this period and can relax. They can have extra meals for three days around the New Year!"

Yang Yi said this and only quieted down. The audience cheered and finally got over it.

And there were meat and rice and noodles sent home. Although they had a good meal in the military camp, the soldiers could imagine the current situation as soon as they thought about the situation before. Everyone's family was in trouble and they were afraid they would not be able to cook. They lived on bran and vegetables every day. Now they brought noodles and meat back to their hometown. This was a great scenery, which was enough to arouse the envy of others. If they brought these grains and meat back, they could have a good New Year for their families.

For a moment, everyone was happy. Zhang Muzhi was thinking about something at this moment and didn't know what he was thinking, but Ning Yi's face was a little complicated. Looking at the boiling and cheering situation, it was obvious that the training for more than a month had gradually made Yang Yi's authority gradually fall into the hearts of the people. This small team of thousands of people was truly mastered by Yang Yi, and one of his missions had been considered a failure.

But this is not the crime of war!
