Chapter 347: Both internal and external blossoming, Taoist classics are published
After the order was issued, Ji Qingluo couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, because the impact of this deduction on reality was too great.

The rule of Chengguo was already shaky and was facing the imminent destruction of the country.

How easy is it to find a glimmer of hope from this?

Now Chen Huaixin’s actions have further accelerated the pace.

Ji Qingluo and the civil and military officials in the court could only take precautions in advance for the unexpected events outside.

……

【As the good news came from Buddhism, new news was also delivered to the palace, sent by the leader of Taoism.】

【Chen Huaixin immediately left the palace and headed for the other party’s retreat.】

[“Your Majesty, I pay my respects to Your Majesty.”]

[Since the last meeting of the Hedao ended, he decided to retreat and write a book. It has been a long time since we last met. I have asked about his progress over the years, but I have never received a clear answer. The news I received today must be enough to shock the entire Yu Kingdom.]

【”OK.”】

“Excellent.”

【Chen Huaixin looked at the other party’s energetic appearance and nodded with satisfaction.】

[I thought that writing Taoist scriptures would make him old, but I didn’t expect that when I saw this Taoist master today, he was even in better shape than before.]

[“I think you came to me this time because of the Taoist scriptures.”]

【“That’s right.”】

[Then the Taoist leader came to the desk nearby and brought over a thick stack of bound books.]

[It seems that he is ready and is just waiting for Chen Huaixing to come and check.]

[“I have written down the essence of Taoism’s theories and all the methods of preaching in these years. Some ideas that are not conducive to people’s livelihood and governance have been completely eliminated. The idea of ​​cultivating the Tao and cultivating the mind is included in it.”]

【Chen Huaixin nodded with satisfaction.】

【This is good news for the whole country to celebrate. 】

[Taoism, as the state religion, has had many problems before. Because of the different doctrines and conflicting ideas, it is difficult to unify it as a whole.]

[It is different now. The essence of Taoism is all in these books. As long as these are published, the direction of the sect can be standardized.]

【Chen Huaixin immediately found someone to speed up the printing and distribution of these books so that they could be put into the hands of the public in the shortest possible time.】

【Taoist disciples may read this.】

【Those who believe in the Faith may read this.】

【Ordinary people can also read it. 】

[This incident spread all over the country, and those Taoists who had previously disagreed with the Taoist leader were still a little angry and wanted to take this opportunity to find fault.]

[Although they lost in the discussion, it does not mean that they have given up. ]

[Soon, they got their hands on the first printed copies of the book.]

【This batch of books is specially provided. 】

【It was also specially supervised and signed by Chen Huaixin. 】

[No one doubts this.]

[Then those Taoists who had originally been disdainful began to study it frantically, as long as they could find something wrong, they would be able to turn the tables.]

【Seven days passed first.】

[The voices of those who were clamoring earlier became much quieter, and the disdainful emotions also decreased a lot. Half of the Taoists were convinced by the content of this set of classics. ]

[Another month has passed.]

[No one has raised any objections, and all Taoists devoutly regard this as a classic.]

【With this book, the leader of Taoism was completely recognized. 】

【As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. 】

[But this time, the leader of Taoism responded to everyone in his own way. He deserves the position of the leader of the national religion.]

【Because these new works contain hundreds of ideas. 】

[Basic Tao concepts are also included.]

[Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, three begets all things. 】

[The origin of change, the way of yin and yang balance. ] [Just ask for a clear conscience. ]

[Although we should not rashly interfere in worldly affairs, we should also be brave enough to enter the world without fear of karma and seek truth and be pragmatic. ]

[These books have become the enlightenment works for some new Taoists. ]

[It has even become a reference for some old Taoists to teach their disciples. It has many uses and far-reaching influence.]

【The sects that were originally controversial and infighting are now officially unified. 】

【Previously, it was unified only in form.】

【This time it is spirit and will. 】

[The Taoist leader was fortunate to have accomplished this great cause on his own, which would benefit future generations.]

【Chen Huaixin also built the Taoist temple according to the original plan and made the packaging of the state religion a mechanism.】

[All the Taoists in Yu Kingdom are convinced by their leader and emperor.]

[Even some Gentiles were dumbfounded.]

[They have also witnessed sectarian conflicts within a country.]

[Conflicts of interest between religious sects and those in power in a country have long existed. Even if a religion is established as a state religion, it may go astray due to personal selfishness.]

[This is the first time I have seen a state religion that is so trusted and supported by the monarch. ]

【Chen Huaixin was very satisfied with the result.】

【Now both Buddhism and Taoism have achieved breakthrough progress. 】

【Both domestically and abroad. 】

【This is a sign of spiritual prosperity. 】

【Next, you can prepare to arrange the next plan. 】

……

Chengguo Hall.

Ji Qingluo, who was sitting on top, looked at the people below helplessly.

Judging from the current state of Cheng, it is definitely impossible to do this.

The Buddhist and Taoist sects in the country are in a fierce conflict.

Both sides competed for the right to speak, snatched believers, and even started fighting for territory for the so-called offerings of incense.

These things were not Ji Qingluo’s original intention, but she wanted to control them but had no way to do so.

“Well, give the order.”

“Tell the Ministry of Revenue to quickly implement and register the situation of religious sects in our country. We can’t wait any longer, we must investigate now.”

As he spoke, Ji Qingluo felt a headache.

He was indeed a very incompetent emperor.

Now Chen Huaixin’s actions have come to bear fruit.

I had doubts before about her decision to make Taoism the state religion. After all, it was not a trivial matter. But I didn’t expect that I would be the one to be slapped in the face.

“Prime Minister Wang, the religious sects in my country are scattered. Can you send someone to manage them? Maybe we can do the same in the future.”

“Your Majesty’s ideas are indeed far-sighted, but it’s a pity…”

Wang Qianhe looked at Ji Qingluo with a wry smile. This matter was not something they could decide.

The Cheng Kingdom is a mess right now.

If we clean up now, I’m afraid the cost will be even higher.

It would be better to overthrow the entire country and start over again.

Just like Chen Huaixin, he established his authority by beheading people and then ruled the country with a conciliatory policy.

Wang Qianhe knew very well that Chengguo’s problems were so deep that they could not be corrected overnight, and the effort required would be less than cutting it down and starting over.

Perhaps the history of Chengguo has come to an end before the transformation is over.
