Chapter 249: Religion rules the dynasty? How should it be arranged? (Ch 249)

All over the country.
Looking at the deduced future scene.
Taoist people are full of expectations.
They never thought about it.
That future Taoism.
It’s unexpected that such a great cause could be accomplished!
“Although.”
“That’s the credit.”
“They are basically all branches of Taoism in Julu County!”
“But we are all members of Taoism. The achievements of Julu Taoism are also ours. The future achievements of nation-building and the future status of Taoism should naturally have a part of us!”
“At most, Julu Taoism will become the main branch, and we will become a branch!”
“…”
Taoists were discussing this.
Even if.
They are now.
Many of them were aristocratic families who submitted to Chengguo.
There are only a very small number of people like the Julu Taoism, who would rather hide in remote places than help the aristocratic families to harm one side and help them bring disaster to the people.
But in their view, they were just enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens, not completely submitting to the aristocratic families, and they were choosing a strategy of feigning compliance in order to ensure the survival of Taoism!
Even if they are harming the people, they do it with tears in their eyes. It’s not out of their true heart at all!
At most, they chose a different method from Julu Taoism, but it was all for the future of Taoism!
“So we can share a piece of the pie and their credit, so what!”
That’s what these people think.
They look forward to Taoism becoming the country’s state religion in the future.
They look forward to being admired by all people in the future.
However.
That’s what Chen Huaixin thought.
But it made them furious!
“That bastard! He actually doesn’t want to share the credit for founding the country with us in Taoism?!”
“We tried so hard to help him in the future, but he was so ungrateful!”
“really.”
“The most ruthless are the Imperial Family!”
“This fellow Chen Huaixin, even though he founded a country and became the emperor, he is already thinking about weakening our Taoism!”
“It seems that we should support others and choose to cooperate with others to overthrow this Cheng Kingdom!”
“…”
Taoists were furious.
They think.
In the future, it will be able to overthrow Chengguo.
Ninety-nine percent of it is due to Taoism!
Whoever they support and help will become the emperor of the new country!
As for them now, they have been beaten like dogs by the aristocratic families and do not even have the courage to resist. That is entirely because the time has not come, not because they are incapable!
“You, Chen Huaixin, are not the only one who is willing to overthrow Chengguo. Just wait to freeze to death on a winter night!”
Some Taoists even secretly contacted the ambitious people closest to them.
Those ambitious people who wanted to rebel were naturally delighted when they learned that Taoism was willing to help them.
In their view, Chen Huaixin was able to establish the new country with the help of Taoism. So why can’t they become the masters of the new country now that they have received the same help?
“I really have to thank Chen Huaixin!”
“They actually wanted to get rid of the donkey after it was no longer useful when the country was founded. This is completely cutting off their own path to retreat!”
“In the future, it will no longer be Chen Huaixin who will overthrow Chengguo! It will be… us!”
These ambitious people and Taoist dogs thought like this in their hearts.
The Taoist temple master in Julu County looked at the predicted future without any change in his expression. All he was thinking about was Chen Huaixin’s original plan.
“A country without an emperor?!”
…
[August, the seventeenth year of Yuanhuang.]
【Nancheng was destroyed.】
[The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army cheered. ]
【because.】
【Everyone understands.】
【The last resistance force.】
【They have been cleared. 】
【”Now.”】
【“That’s building our country!”】
【The Yellow Turban soldiers are looking forward to it. 】
【And it was at this time. 】
[Chen Huaixin found the Taoist temple master and discussed with him…Taoism matters! ]
[“Sir, you want to ask about the arrangements for Taoism after the founding of the country.”]
[The Taoist temple master is not a fool, he can naturally guess why Chen Huaixin came. ]
[And he used the name they called Chen Huaixin at the beginning of the rebellion.]
【”right.”】
【Chen Huaixin did not beat around the bush.】
[“I originally wanted to establish Taoism as the state religion.”]
[“If this happens, Taoism will surely flourish and have countless disciples.”]
[“But the problems that arise will also become hidden dangers for the new country.”]
【If you say. 】
【Taoism becomes the state religion.】
[And it is also a state religion that has the merit of following the dragon. ]
[It can almost be said to be the only religion in this country! ]
[As for others, such as Buddhism, they were not wiped out, which can be considered as Taoism’s mercy! ]
[“One religion dominates.”]
[“That’s definitely not a good thing!”]
[“Even at the beginning.”]
“We can still regulate it and control it.”
[“But as long as the people who founded the country pass away, no one will be able to control its development!”]
【Chen Huaixin actually knew that he could wait until the country became strong before weakening the power of Taoism. He didn’t need to consider it before founding the country. However, he didn’t really want to do this kind of thing that seemed like settling accounts after the fact.】
[Because he has a very good relationship with the Taoist temple master.]
[He doesn’t want the two of them to become enemies in the future! ]
【”so.”】
[“Let’s take care of this first.”]
【“Think about founding a nation again!”】
【Chen Huaixin looked towards the Taoist temple master.】
[The Taoist temple master is not a fool. He can also think clearly about what kind of giant Taoism will develop into if it becomes a country. ]
【even.】
【To put it in an extreme way. 】
[If there is a weak emperor in the future, or an emperor who lacks ability. ]
[“Then Taoism may even steal the country!”]
[“Or maybe.”]
[“There is no need to directly steal the country.”]
[“We just need to make the emperor’s authority subordinate to their Taoism.”]
[“Then they will lead the Central Plains dynasty as religious figures!”]
[This has never happened before, but it may happen in the future! ]
[Faced with the supreme power, how many people would not be tempted? ! ]
[“We cannot predict the future, we can only try to eliminate this hidden danger!”]
[This is also the reason why Chen Huaixin came to discuss with the Taoist temple master! ]
[What Chen Huaixin didn’t expect was that his words, which implied the intention of weakening the power of Taoism, did not cause any dissatisfaction from the Taoist temple master.]
[He just looked at Chen Huaixin and asked Chen Huaixin how he would treat the people after establishing a new country and what measures he would take to make the people live a good life.]
[This also made Chen Huaixin understand that compared to the power of Taoism, the Taoist temple master valued the people more! ]
【”otherwise.”】
[“He won’t flee to Julu County either.”]
[“I won’t be able to heal and help the people like that anymore!”]
【Chen Huaixin was somewhat emotional.】
【After he answered them one by one. 】
[The Taoist temple master either nodded or was lost in thought. The two chatted until late at night.]
【To the end.】
【The two of them returned to the topic at the beginning. 】
[“How should I…”]
【“Arrange the Taoism of the future!”】
