Chapter 268: Not worthy of becoming a state religion? Not impossible! (Ch 268)

Outside the Golden Palace.
Look at Chen Huaixin’s judgment.
Wang Qianhe thought for a moment.
He nodded slightly.
“indeed.”
“The current situation.”
“The army of Yu country is still being dispatched.”
“The court’s deployment is still continuing.”
“If we can’t do it in the shortest time, we’ll put more pressure on them.”
“Even if we get a response later, it won’t stop the war from breaking out!”
Wang Qianhe thought so in his heart.
The Taoist priest’s request was that the imperial court stop foreign wars so that the master of the Taoist temple could pass away in peace.
However, if they fail to get the court’s attention as quickly as possible, and once the army leaves Chang’an City, even if the court agrees to their request, it will not be able to bring the army back.
The money and food consumed, as well as the number of people involved, turned the Yu Kingdom into a war machine. Unless it wins or loses, it will keep running!
“And if even the most basic requirement cannot be achieved.”
“The subsequent demands of these Taoists are even more outlandish!”
When Wang Qianhe thought of this, he knew that those Taoists would definitely be very anxious!
They couldn’t wait for public opinion to ferment, because by then the foreign war was unstoppable. They had to make the court pay attention to them before the imperial army left!
“But as long as you are impatient, you will make mistakes!”
“That way…”
“It’s just giving Chen Huaixin a chance!”
Wang Qianhe sighed, this method of waiting for the opponent to make a mistake was brilliant!
But he was also very clear that this was still too passive!
For a man like Chen Huaixin, not being able to seize the initiative is not much different from failure. This move by the Taoist priests really put him at a disadvantage!
“so.”
“Wait until after this time.”
“He will definitely impose more restrictions on Taoism!”
“Maybe even…”
“He will support Buddhism!”
Wang Qianhe looked at the deduction and guessed what would happen in the future.
Even though Taoism is the state religion of Yu Kingdom, there are other religions existing in the country.
The problems brought about by this kind of dominance are something that no emperor can ignore!
And if Buddhism had the secret support of the imperial court, it would not be difficult for it to compete with Taoism!
“That’s all I can say.”
“That in Taoism.”
“There are still too few Taoists like the Taoist temple master who have a long-term vision.”
“If we just do nothing and keep a low profile, nothing will go wrong.”
“Now……”
Wang Qianhe shook his head.
And in various parts of Chengguo.
The people looked at the Taoist priest during the deduction with a bit more hatred and resentment in their eyes.
Especially the military and civilians on the border, they have a lot more disgust towards Taoism!
Because in their view, Chen Huaixin mobilized the army to pacify the grassland in order to solve the border problem, but these Taoists obstructed it in every possible way and did not want the court to go to war!
Is this obstructing the court’s policies? No! This is obstructing their peaceful lives!
“Then Taoism…”
“Not worthy of being the state religion of Yu Country!”
…
【Just as Chen Huaixin thought. 】
[The Taoists who were obstructing were very anxious. ]
【”after all.”】
[“If we wait until the army leaves Chang’an City.”]
[“Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back!”]
[“We must make the court take our demands seriously before this happens!”]
[The Taoists thought this in their hearts.]
【Although.】
【In Taoism.】
[There are indeed quite a few Taoists.]
[I feel that forcing the court in this way is not a good idea. 】
[But now the power of discourse in Taoism is mostly in the hands of the Taoist priests who are obstructing it.]
【“Or rather.”】
[“Most Taoists don’t care about either decision.”]
【“They just wait for the results!”】
[“So it doesn’t matter whether the right to speak is controlled by others!”]
[If the result is favorable to them, these people will be happy. ]
[If the result is not favorable to them, they will say that they were not involved and they should not be implicated.]
【Anyway.】
【Anyway.】
【Current situation.】
[It was the Taoist priest who was obstructing the process, using the loudest voice, hoping that the court would take his and others’ requests seriously.]
[In order to prevent the court from being unable to stop the war, they gathered together anxiously to discuss, hoping to get a satisfactory result in the shortest possible time! ]
【”otherwise.”】
[“We were at our senior brother’s funeral.”]
【“Tell the believers about it.”】
[“Let them help us seek justice from the imperial court?”]
[A Taoist priest said what Ji Changluo had guessed. ]
[But the other Taoists around shook their heads. ]
【Not really.】
[This method doesn’t work.]
【“You should say.”】
[“This method is excellent!”]
“It just takes too long.”
[“We can’t wait until then!”]
[The other Taoists thought this in their hearts.]
[Now, the invitation to the Taoist temple’s main funeral has been notified to the Taoist sects in various places, and it will take at least a month for them to send personnel to arrive in Chang’an City. ]
[And it was impossible for them to bury the Taoist temple master in a hurry. ]
[“Brother, your significance to Taoism is more important than that of many ancestors.”]
【“His funeral…”】
[“How can you be so casual!”]
【This is the unanimous opinion of Taoist priests.】
[Even though they knew that the Taoist temple master hoped that his funeral would be simple when he passed away, just like the emperor’s burial, he hoped that it could be simple. No matter how simple the funeral is, the later ones dare not be too casual! ]
[Their reputation is an honor during their lifetime, but also a burden after their death! ]
[“If you cannot use the hands of believers.”]
[“Then we’ll have to do it ourselves!”]
[“Send some people to communicate with the government.”]
[“They can’t just turn a blind eye to this anymore!”]
[Another Taoist priest proposed this method. ]
【Some people agree.】
【But there are still more objections! 】
[“Even if we communicate with the government, it won’t have much effect.”]
[“They just need to keep this matter under wraps for more than half a month.”]
[“As long as the news cannot be passed to the cabinet, no matter how much we say, it will be useless!”]
[The Taoists who objected said so.]
[As the state religion, Taoism is not without the qualifications to seek an audience with the Prime Minister. It’s just that this matter is ultimately caused by a small number of people, and most Taoists have not expressed their views. It is impossible for them to meet the Prime Minister just because of this! ]
[And if they forcefully ask for a meeting, it will only lead to them violating religious laws, which will be even more troublesome! ]
[“You can’t forcefully ask for a meeting.”]
[“I can’t communicate with the government.”]
[“Are we going to sit in silence in front of the palace?”]
[“Ask for an audience with His Majesty in such a gentle way?!”]
[Another Taoist priest was annoyed and said this in anger.]
【but.】
【These words.】
【But all the Taoist priests present looked at him. 】
[“It seems… that this is not impossible?!”]
