During the Tang Dynasty, Erlang Temple was deemed to be Zhao Yu and was also named King of Chicheng, rather than Li Erlang.

In the Song Dynasty, Erlang Shen was deemed to be Li Bing's second son and was named Marquis of Huiling, and it was clearly stated that it was Li Erlang.

how so?

The Tang Dynasty was martial, pioneering and enterprising, recognized Zhao Yu's ability to subdue demons, and liked his courage, so he was named King.

The Song Dynasty was introverted, and the literati class was powerful, while Li Bing and his son were officials to benefit the people. They naturally belonged to the literati class and were very suitable for their appetite. Therefore, it was directly stipulated that the sacrifices of Erlang Temple were not allowed to be Zhao Yu.

Just a sacrifice, I saw the foundation and atmosphere of the Tang and Song dynasties at a glance.

And what about the court officials?

Their thinking was no different from the Song Dynasty. They began to gradually restrain themselves, and they were not moved by Zhao Yu and favored Li Erlang. The changes in social atmosphere were indeed uncontrollable.

Since the chaotic times, military personnel have been rampant. In the late Five Dynasties, southern countries began to emphasize culture and neglect military forces, such as the Southern Han Dynasty, which flooded the army with rascals and scoundrels, castrated military generals and opened imperial examinations, allowing literati to manage prefectures and counties, thus controlling the entire Lingnan in one fell swoop.

The Southern Tang and Wu Yue were no exception. With the advantage of geographical advantages, the status of warriors was further reduced, and this trend gradually extended and was unstoppable.

Of course, this is a feedback that the people in the world have been bullied by warriors for too long and that they have been too long in troubled times.

However, for Li Jia, it is not yet the point of emphasizing culture and over military affairs. The world has not been unified yet, so I will let the horses go to the south. Isn’t this abolishing martial arts? Why did the Northern Song Dynasty still do this?

Moreover, in his understanding, Erlang Shen was originally a martial artist who defeated demons and eliminated demons, not a literati. Moreover, Li Bing and his son had a temple, so why bother to worship their son alone? This is completely unreasonable!

"Li Bing and his son have made contributions to water control. For all ages, no one dared to deny it. It is natural for them to enjoy the sacrifice!"

After Li Jia waited for their request, she did not comment. Seeing that they were calm and calm, she said slowly:

"Emperor Taizong and Emperor Xuanzong have already given him a title, and the person he is Zhao Yu. Although I am not virtuous, how dare I be unfilial? How can you miss the emperor?"

"I am ashamed..." The minister heard the emperor say this, and even raised the two emperors, and dared not object anymore, so he bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"Of course, Emperor Taizong praised Li Bing as the "Godly General". Emperor Xuanzong was lucky to Shu and granted Li Bing the title of "Sikong Prime Minister". This is what he deserves. Li Bing and his son's achievements in controlling water will benefit thousands of years. What you said about the king is feasible!"

"As father and son, the temple of the Two Kings can be rebuilt. The court allocates another 2,000 guan to repair it!"

"Your Majesty's wiseness--" The ministers bowed down.

"As for Erlang Temple, since its lord is Zhao Yu, then it should still be followed, and it is still the King of Chicheng. It will be included in the court's official sacrifices. Local officials will sacrifice two spring and autumn sacrifices. The court will pay a thousand guan to repair it!"

"I'm sure!"

"The temples of officials in Chongfu Department all over the world should be screened for those temples established by wise ministers and loyal people. The good and righteous gods can accept it, and the evil gods can destroy it."

Li Jia glanced at the prime ministers and said in a deep voice: "The major affairs of the country are in sacrifice and military affairs. You should carefully distinguish them and not neglect them!"

"I know!" Zhao Cheng and others responded quickly.

"Then let's go!" Li Jia waved her hand. It was enough to make a lot of trouble for a temple matter for most of the time.

However, the descendants do not take it seriously, but now they are not small. It is a major matter related to the foundation of the imperial rule. The emperor's enfeoffment of ghosts and gods is only in China. The emperor feels very good about power. Even if there are gods, they still cannot escape their hands.

Every word and action can destroy the temple and be named gods. This feeling is really good.

"The Erlang Temple in Li Dai Taozun after the Song Dynasty was corrected by himself!!"

Li Jia feels very happy with her steps lightly.

…………

However, the imperial court decided on the Erlang Temple here, and the Chongfusi on the other side immediately knew it, and the religious figures in Changsha City also knew it.

Li Bing and his son are role models of civil officials. They dare not be out of the way, but Zhao Yu is different. He is just a mortal who subdues monsters and catches monsters. Who cares?

Anguo Temple, the largest Buddhist temple in Changsha City, was originally a ancestral temple established by Zhou Xingfeng. It was a huge scale and hundreds of monks. It was the place where the incense in Changsha City was prosperous.

Now, as the Tang Dynasty entered Chu, Anguo Temple has immediately become a ancestral temple for the Tang Dynasty royal family, continuing to enjoy special treatment and becoming more and more prosperous.

"Now the court has recognized Zhao Yu as the King of Chicheng and has also given money to build a temple. Let's see, what opportunities are there?"

The temple host, the monk who wished, sat on the futon and whispered.

"Now Taoism is in great influence and is in charge of Chongfu Department. Although our Buddhists do not care about these things, we cannot sit and see the decline of our Buddha. Erlang Temple has a great influence in Shu, so we cannot miss it!"

"What does the host mean?" A great monk said hesitantly, "Can he be included in the ranks of guardian arhats?"

"Although there is no difference between Buddhas and Buddhas, the people are all ordinary people. Are the arhats too low?" said another monk:

"You can be the guardian king!"

"It can be the fruit position of the Bodhisattva--"

"Why not treat it with Buddha?"

"Amitabha!??" The host of the wish sighed and said:

"The Buddha's position should not be easily accepted, and the Dharma Protector is just right!"

"From today, Erlang Shen will be the guardian of our Buddhist Dharma, the King of Chicheng, to protect my Buddhist Dharma, to eliminate demons and evil spirits!"

"Amitabha??????"

"Amitabha??"

…………

The Erlang Temple had a far-reaching influence, and the imperial court had included the official sacrifices, so Taoism was naturally no exception. The Louguan School, the Tianshi School, the Dai Sect, the Shangqing School, etc. also began to discuss the status of the Erlang Temple.

"Zhao Zhenren is a Taoist person, it's time to get him back to his position!"

"Wuliang Tianzun, what fellow Taoist said is reasonable, so we Taoist elders should not be reduced to the desolation of our Taoist elders!"

Several Taoist factions agreed that the Erlang Temple where Zhao Yu was located was the Taoist god. He had been wandering outside before and had not returned to his position. Now he was included in the official sacrifice by the court. Taking this opportunity, he returned to his position.

"Zhao Yu studied under the Taoist priest Li Jue of our Shangqing sect, traced the origin and was named Taoist lord."

The Taoist priest from Shangqing Sect hurriedly said.

"It is not difficult to be named Daojun, but how can Erlang Temple be from the Shangqing Sect? Our Dai Sect is in charge of Chongfu Section, so it should be our Dai Sect!"

Several sects quarreled endlessly.

They attach great importance to the ownership of Erlang Temple, not money and temple property, but influence. If this is included, it will add a lot of believers.

After a few days of quarrel, it was difficult to make a choice. Helplessly, everyone could only let them be independent and form their own factions, but they firmly resisted the monk's inclusion in Buddhism.
