Chapter 267 The Taoist’s Request? Even More Anxious! (Ch 267)

Inside the mansion.
Looking at the deduced future scene.
Ji Changning frowned slightly.
Ji Changling snorted coldly and said, “These Taoists really don’t know how to live or die! They want to hinder the court’s policies and oppose the court’s decisions. If Chen Huaixin hadn’t implemented religious laws and restricted their power, wouldn’t they be even more rebellious?!”
“But even so, they still want to take advantage of this rare opportunity to continue to fight for power and profit from the court!” Ji Changning’s voice also rang out.
After watching the deductions for so long, their political IQ has naturally increased.
Of course, they could guess clearly the Taoists’ plans!
In their opinion.
No matter how important the Taoist temple master is.
No matter how much merit Taoism has.
The court’s decisions should be put first!
“Even if the emperor dies.”
“Then the successor should also carry out his will.”
“Instead of delaying policies that benefit the people just for the sake of a funeral!”
Ji Changling’s words seemed even more radical.
Because in that deduction, she saw her future self!
Although she is just a general of Yu State, she also represents future wars and she is qualified to participate in them!
If the Taoist priests destroyed the decision to go to war, she didn’t know how long she would have to wait before she could see her future self again, fighting heroically on the battlefield!
“Even if this war is not the last large-scale war of Yu Country.”
“Then the more distant westward expedition should be a major war against foreign enemies with the whole nation’s strength!”
“but……”
“That’s too long ago!”
“It’s so long in the future that it may not even happen!”
Ji Changling didn’t dare to substitute the previous deduction into this future.
She just wanted to become a famous general who would be remembered forever!
And this battle to conquer the grassland should be the starting point for her to leave her name in the world!
“so.”
“We must not allow Taoist priests to teach us.”
“Ruin this rare war!”
Ji Changling looked at the deduction and thought so in his heart.
The Taoist priests of the Taoist sect were filled with joy at this time.
Although most of them were imprisoned at the beginning of the founding of Yu Kingdom, they became the targets of Chen Huaixin’s killing of the chicken to scare the monkey.
But when he saw that some younger Taoist priests were still dissatisfied with Chen Huaixin, still felt rejected by religious laws, and were planning to take action to regain their rights.
They suddenly felt that they had successors!
“The tyrant should know how unpopular his decision is!”
These Taoists were full of anticipation, wanting to see the turbulent situation in Yu Kingdom.
But they didn’t notice at all how surprised the people were when they watched the deduction!
“In order to prevent the people living in the border areas from being harassed again, we must send troops to wipe out the barbarians!”
“This is…”
“Our future Majesty?!”
…
【The main funeral of the Taoist temple has not yet been held. 】
[The imperial court still wants to take up arms. ]
【This action. 】
[This immediately made some Taoists feel dissatisfied. ]
【Or rather. 】
[They have been holding grudges for a long time.]
[Now I am just taking the opportunity to explode! 】
[“Since Senior Brother has worked so hard for Yu Country.”]
[“Your Majesty, please do not wage war against foreign enemies.”]
[“Your Majesty, please do not show your blade again.”]
[“Let Senior Brother…”]
[“You can die peacefully!”]
[These Taoists are not stupid. They know that a tough attitude will inevitably lead to Chen Huaixin’s dissatisfaction.]
[They pretended to beg desperately, hoping that the court would show leniency and allow the Taoist temple master to pass away in peace.]
[But Chen Huaixin knew very well that if the imperial court agreed to their request, they would definitely push their demands further and make more requests! ]
[“For example, a funeral held in Chang’an for several months.”]
[“For example, let the city of Chang’an be surrounded by the flames of incense.”]
[“For example, building more Taoist temples for the funeral of the Taoist temple owner, etc.”]
[“So even if the deceased is the Taoist temple master, we must not agree to your request!”]
【Chen Huaixin thought so in his heart.】
[He can give the Taoist temple master a better reputation after his death, and can give Taoism more rewards.]
[But that should be something he proposed on his own initiative, not something that was requested by others! ]
【”but.”】
【“What these Taoists do.”】
[“That really gave me a difficult problem!”]
【Chen Huaixin rubbed his head helplessly.】
[If these Taoists were to take tough measures, then it would not be difficult for him to handle the matter.]
[But they begged and pleaded, as if asking people to let them go. This method is undoubtedly the most troublesome! ]
[“It’s really not possible.”]
[“So just ignore it?”]
[“Now the army is about to be mobilized.”]
【“The daily food consumption.”】
[“You can’t stay too long!”]
[The Prime Minister looked at Chen Huaixin and put forward his own ideas.]
【The army is mobilized.】
[Of course, we can’t stop.]
[Because changing orders every day will not only affect the morale of the army, but also make the soldiers question the commander’s orders! ]
[This is absolutely not allowed for large-scale military operations. Otherwise, failure is inevitable before even reaching the battlefield! ]
[“It’s impossible to ignore it.”]
【“Because of the influence of Taoism.”】
[“Many people will spontaneously go to the Taoist temple to mourn.”]
[“And as long as there is a Taoist priest who says a few more words at that time.”]
[“Then the conflict will change from Taoism and the imperial court to the people and the imperial court!”]
【Ji Changluo’s voice sounded at this time. 】
[After such a long period of training, and with Ji Qingluo’s experience and guidance, as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, she naturally understood a lot about the politics of the court. ]
[Even though her personality hasn’t changed much, she is still able to express her opinions on such important matters instead of being shy and not daring to speak.]
[Just like when the rebellion broke out, she was able to step forward and take charge of logistics instead of hiding behind Ji Changxi! ]
[However, her words gave the important officials around her even more headaches. ]
[“Cannot be ignored.”]
[“Should we negotiate with them?”]
【“Or send someone to act as the spy.”】
[“Let the spy do some manipulation, and then use religious law to control them?”]
[The Minister of War also said this at this time.]
[He hoped more than anyone else that this war would not be delayed, so he would naturally think of ways to deal with the troublesome Taoism more than anyone else! ]
[But Chen Huaixin shook his head and said at this time: “Maybe it’s really not necessary to go through so much trouble. Just like what the Prime Minister said, just ignore it.”]
【Hearing this.】
[The ministers were stunned.]
【Ji Changluo originally wanted to say something. 】
【Chen Huaixin has already continued.】
[“The army is about to be mobilized, and the war may break out at any time.”]
[“They can’t even see the pros and cons of religious law.”]
【”inevitable……”】
[“They will be more anxious than us!”]
